[Bug 1578193] Re: cannot load legacy-only plugin

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for the patch and sorry for the delay. We're making an effort
to clear out languishing items in the sponsorship queue today.

Zesty currently ships network-manager-strongswan 1.4.1-1 so I presume
this is now fixed in Zesty? Could someone please confirm before pushing
SRUs?

For Xenial and Yakkety, the proposed fix sounds mostly OK (I haven't
looked in detail) but the bug needs SRU information and the patch
updated for SRUs. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure for details.

I'm trying to get an initial response to as many outstanding requests
today as I can, so I'll move on for now. But I'll mark this as one to
come back to if we have time today. If we don't get to it, please try to
follow the SRU procedure if you can and then resubscribe ~ubuntu-
sponsors to the bug when done.

Title:
  cannot load legacy-only plugin

Status in network-manager-strongswan package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Strongswan isn't presented as an option when I want to add a VPN in
  NetworkManager (GUI), despite the fact that the latest network-
  manager-strongswan (1.3.1-1ubuntu1) is installed.

  From /var/log/syslog:

  May  4 13:42:16 workmate gnome-session[1833]: ** Message: vpn:
  (strongswan,/etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-strongswan-service.name) cannot
  load legacy-only plugin

  $ dpkg-query --status network-manager-strongswan | grep ^Version
  Version: 1.3.1-1ubuntu1

  $ dpkg-query --status network-manager | grep ^Version
  Version: 1.1.93-0ubuntu4

  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  Could be related to #1570352, but since the error-message is
  different, I created a new bug report

  I found network-manager-openconnect had a same issue, upstream fixed
  this by porting the code to use libnm [1] and [2]
