** Description changed:

  [Impact]
- When fips-preview is enabled in a Jammy server running openvpn --show-ciphers 
returns nothing. This is caused by openvpn not loading the FIPS OpenSSL 
provider. This actually works fine upstream but was broken by a previous ubuntu 
patch that re-enables some algorithms that where moved to the legacy provider 
by OpenSSL 3.0.

+ The bug can be reproduced by just running:
  
  openvpn --show-ciphers
  
  The non-patched version returns no algorithms and the patched version
  should include a list of cipher algorithms like this:
  
  AES-128-CBC  (128 bit key, 128 bit block)
  AES-128-CFB  (128 bit key, 128 bit block, TLS client/server mode only)
  AES-128-CFB1  (128 bit key, 128 bit block, TLS client/server mode only)
  AES-128-CFB8  (128 bit key, 128 bit block, TLS client/server mode only)
  AES-128-GCM  (128 bit key, 128 bit block, TLS client/server mode only)
  AES-128-OFB  (128 bit key, 128 bit block, TLS client/server mode only)
  ...
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  If the FIPS provider is not present (like on non FIPS hardened servers) the 
provider variable is NULL. That might generate some issues although I have seen 
no problems.
