Hi all. I've played around with Ryan's PPA to get the strongswan connection to my work place working under Mint 18 (xenial). Here are my observations based on a fresh Mint 18 install, after doing all updates and upgrades that were available.
The following works to get my connection running: 1. Get the company .crt and import it to my keychain (I chose always to unlock it when prompted) 2. sudo apt-get install libstrongswan strongswan strongswan-charon strongswan-libcharon strongswan-starter libstrongswan-extra-plugins libcharon-extra-plugins libstrongswan-standard-plugins network-manager-strongswan 3. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:raharper/bugfixes 4. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade 5. Set up the VPN via the network manager. I enter the IP, my EAP username and password (I chose to store for all users). I checked "Request an inner IP address", and I provided an additional DNS server and search domain. After this, the connection works. However, updates to strongswan are available now, since some packages are still version 5.3.5-1ubuntu3. If I choose to update strongswan at this point, it will result in the removal of libstrongswan-standard-plugins and libstrongswan-extra- plugins, because they have unmet dependencies. I managed to install those dependencies doing the following steps: 1. wget http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/iptables/libip4tc0_1.6.0-4_amd64.deb 2. wget http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libg/libgcrypt20/libgcrypt20_1.7.3-2_amd64.deb 3. sudo dpkg -i libip4tc0_1.6.0-4_amd64.deb 4. sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt20_1.7.3-2_amd64.deb 5. sudo apt-get -f install 6. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade This upgrades everything to 5.3.5-1ubuntu5, but the VPN will not connect still.
