I'd have expected strongswan-starter to declare itself an "ike-server" package, so that the existing breaks/replaces/provides trio would here. ike-server is a virtual package like mail-transport-agent which is provided by the packages: ike racoon isakmpd strongswan-charon libreswan only one of these can be functional on a system at any time anyway. I'm suprised to see that strongswan-charon is the package providing ike-server, if stronswan-starter is the package that contains the system integration. Here's the current contents of strongswan-charon: usr/share/strongswan/templates/config/strongswan.d/charon.conf usr/share/strongswan/templates/config/strongswan.d/charon-logging.conf usr/share/doc/strongswan-charon/copyright usr/share/doc/strongswan-charon/changelog.gz usr/share/doc/strongswan-charon/changelog.Debian.gz usr/share/doc/strongswan-charon/NEWS.Debian.gz usr/lib/ipsec/charon etc/strongswan.d/charon.conf etc/strongswan.d/charon-logging.conf etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.ipsec.charon None of these are system integration bits, and i don't think this package should be labeled as the thing that Provides: ike-server. (i note that strongswan-charon Depends: strongswan-starter, but i'm not sure i understand why those deps are in that order instead of the other way around. Anyway, i'll make libreswan explicitly conflict with strongswan-starter to resolve 836862, but hopefully this cloned bug can be resolved on the strongswan side. Regards, -dkg
