[Pkg-swan-devel] Bug#805026: strongswan: Unpackaged plugins in package strongswan

[Thomas Antepoth]

Package: strongswan
Version: 5.2.1-6+deb8u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I was trying to set up an XAUTH based tunnel between a Cisco Client and 
a Strongswan gateway. I discovered that the libstrongswan-xauth.so 
plugin is missing as well as the libstrongswan-unity.so as well as their
respective *.conf files in /usr/share/strongswan/templates/config/plugins


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I've "apt-get source"ed the strongswan package and built it.


   * What was the outcome of this action?

The missing plugins are built and available in the 
strongswan-5.2.1/debian/tmp/usr/lib/ipsec/plugins directory
of the dpkg-buildpackage but are not packaged into the binary package.
This disables quite some functionality of strongswan as about 20 other 
plugins are not packaged too.


   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected all enabled plugins of strongswan to be in the binary package.
