# dpkg-query -s apparmor &>/dev/null && echo "apparmor is installed"

Run the following command to verify that apparmor-utils is installed:

# dpkg-query -s apparmor-utils &>/dev/null && echo "apparmor-utils is installed"

Run the following command to verify apparmor is the latest version:

# apt list --upgradable 2>&1 | grep -P '^apparmor\b'

Run the following command to verify apparmor-utils is the latest version:

# apt list --upgradable 2>&1 | grep -P '^apparmor-utils\b'

Expected Result
