Public bug reported:
A lot of `strongswan` files got updated this morning. It breaks
strongswan because it can't find `/etc/ipsec.conf`. Sure enough, it's
missing. The package file indicates that it's there, but it doesn't get
installed.
I went to packages.ubuntu.com and downloaded `strongswan-
starter_5.6.3-1ubuntu4.1_amd64.deb` and manually reinstalled it, and IT
didn't install /etc/ipsec.conf either!
I manually extracted ipsec.conf from the .deb file, copied it to
/etc/ipsec.conf, chmod 600 /etc/ipsec.conf, and made sure it was
root:root, then `sudo systemctl restart ipsec`.
`sudo systemctl status ipsec` now shows correctly.
The /etc/ipsec.conf file looks like this...
# ipsec.conf - strongSwan IPsec configuration file
# basic configuration
config setup
# strictcrlpolicy=yes
# uniqueids = no
# Add connections here.
# Sample VPN connections
#conn sample-self-signed
# leftsubnet=10.1.0.0/16
# leftcert=selfCert.der
# leftsendcert=never
# right=192.168.0.2
# rightsubnet=10.2.0.0/16
# rightcert=peerCert.der
# auto=start
#conn sample-with-ca-cert
# leftsubnet=10.1.0.0/16
# leftcert=myCert.pem
# right=192.168.0.2
# rightsubnet=10.2.0.0/16
