Firstly I haven't had a lot to do with IPSEC or debian systems. My immediate problem is trying to get *some* ipsec system on the AMD-64 box. I had previously loaded isakmpd package (port from BSD) and all I managed to do was fill up the logs (2GB in 3 days).
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep "model name|MHz" model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 242 cpu MHz : 1593.845 model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 242 cpu MHz : 1593.845 # cat /etc/debian_version 3.1 # cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-pure64 sid main apt-get install openswan Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: openswan: Depends: ipsec-tools but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages apt-get install freeswan Reading Package Lists...
