Package: libstrongswan-standard-plugins
Version: 5.2.1-6
Severity: serious

I've marked this bug serious because it can lead to a loss of
connectivity for remote users.

The system was running fine with strongSwan on wheezy using ECDSA

The system was upgraded to jessie using apt-get dist-upgrade

After upgrade, the VPN would not start

"ipsec up peer" would complain:

no private key found for 'fromcert'

Looking at the ipsec start logs in syslog, I observed the errors:

building CRED_PRIVATE_KEY - ECDSA failed, tried 2 builders
   loading private key from 'hostKey.der' failed
...
building CRED_CERTIFICATE - ANY failed, tried 1 builders
   loading certificate from 'hostCert.der' failed

Installing the missing package and restarting ipsec resolved the issue:

  apt-get install libstrongswan-standard-plugins
  ipsec stop
  ipsec start

This package may need to be sucked in automatically during dist-upgrade.

There are a lot of plugins, some of them really useful only for few
people. So yes it makes sense. There's no solution which will fit
everybody. Ubuntu decided to make one package per plugin, for example.

That's the reason for the recommends.
