Hello, you might be surprised to see 4.6.0 followed by 4.6.1 after only a couple of days. Unfortunately testing on the latest Ubuntu 11.10 platform showed that the charon daemon did not load the libsimaka, libtls and libtnccs dynamic strongSwan libraries on behalf of the libcharon plugins actually using these libraries, resulting in a failure by the plugins to resolve the symbols exported by these libraries.
The cause was the decision by the Ubuntu project to activate the --as-needed ld option: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ToolchainTransition With 4.6.1 we reverted to the original strategy to let those plugins which use libsimaka, libtls and/or libtnccs to load the corresponding dynamic libraries directly. This left us with the dilemma that the integrity tests for those plugins failed because the hash values computed and stored during compilation time differed from the values after installation because the libraries were getting relinked by the make install target. The integrity test was solved by moving the computation of the hash values to the make install target and to build and compile checksum.c as the last step after all libraries and the plugins depending on them are installed in their definite location. We recommend to all users who have already downloaded and installed strongSwan 4.6.0 to update to 4.6.1, even if no plugins requiring libsimaka, libtls or libtnccs are actually used. W apologize for any inconveniences incurred!
