This is not a bug in Ubuntu's own openvpn package. The package you're installing is the Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) package from OpenVPN project's own apt repositories:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/OpenvpnSoftwareRepos Installing the 16.04 does not work because it actually does depend on initscripts which Ubuntu 18.04 apparently does not have. You can force- install the package and it will probably work, though. I do intend to add Ubuntu 18.04 support soon. To resolve your problem try $ apt-get remove openvpn $ rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvpn-aptrepo.list $ apt-get update $ apt-get install openvpn This will get you Ubuntu's version of OpenVPN. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1778482 Title: Unable to install OpenVPN on Ubuntu 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1778482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
