I checked /var/log/apt/history.log and /var/log/apt/history.log.1.gz and only found references to when I tried to reinstall strongswan- starter_5.6.3-1ubuntu4.1_amd64.deb on Jan 13. I had tried Synaptic, and the .deb file downloaded from packages.ubuntu.com. Neither reinstalled the missing /etc/ipsec.conf file.
As far as I know strongswan/ipsec was running fine, as I monitor syslog closely. And it wasn't until the current updates that I saw it was broken. If /etc/ipsec.conf WAS missing, wouldn't a reinstall replace the missing file? I missed the permissions messages. After manually restoring /etc/ipsec.conf from the .deb file, I set the permissions to 600, similar to the existing /etc/ipsec.secrets. I guess that must be wrong. I just changed them both to 644, similar to other files in /etc/ipsec.d.
