Given up trying to find an answer. Not due to apparmor.

Workaround from
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1069702/dpkg-error-processing-package-install-info

#mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/install-info.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/install-info.postinst.bad
#mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/install-info.postrm /var/lib/dpkg/info/install-info.postrm.bad
#mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/install-info.prerm /var/lib/dpkg/info/install-info.prerm.bad
#dpkg -r printer-driver-cups-pdf

seems to restore apt-get functionality.

Posting for the record.

Best
