[Brian Murray]

Hello Lorenz, or anyone else affected,

Accepted pkcs11-helper into jammy-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pkcs11-helper/1.28-1ubuntu0.22.04.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)

Title:
  OpenVPN connection fails with smartcard provided private key; please
  update pkcs11-helper

Status in pkcs11-helper package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pkcs11-helper source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * Impact

  When using an openvpn configuration which uses a smartcard based
  authentication via "pkcs11-id" and "pkcs11-providers" the connection
  fails

  * Test case

  Try to connect to a server using OpenVPN with smartcard
  authentification

  * Regression potential

  libpkcs11-helper1 is only used by openvpn in the archive so focus the
  testing on openvpn + smartcards setups

  The same problem has been reported upstream at
  https://github.com/OpenSC/pkcs11-helper/issues/52 which resulted in a
  fix.

  I've downloaded and built pkcs11-helper version 1.29.0 and it fixed
  the problem indeed.

  TLDR: please update pkcs11-helper
