Openbsd 7.4 and Openvpn

[Bigjohn888jb]

I have done a fresh install of Openbsd 7.4 i386. All working well. I wanted to add openvpn. When I try i get this:

 pkg_add -n openvpn-2.6.8.tgz
quirks-6.160 signed on 2024-01-26T18:05:09Z
Can't install lz4-1.9.4 because of libraries
|library c.96.2 not found
| /usr/lib/libc.so.97.1 (system): bad major
openvpn-2.6.8:lzo2-2.10p2: ok
Can't install openvpn-2.6.8: can't resolve lz4-1.9.4
Couldn't install lz4-1.9.4 openvpn-2.6.8

It appears that the libraries have been updated, but this cannot find what is needed. Any ideas on how to fix?

thanks,

Hello, and welcome.


I will guess you have a $PKG_PATH environment variable pointing to an OpenBSD 7.2 package repository. That won't work, because you've installed 7.4. If you delete your $PKG_PATH, then pkg_add(1) will use your installurl(5) file, which does not contain release-specifics.

@Bigjohn888jp said

pkg_add -n openvpn-2.6.8.tgz

net/openvpn had a security update that was backported to release 7.4.

If you use

pkg_add openvpn

pkg_add should install the latest version in the repository:

 opensearch-dashboards-2.10.0p0.tgz 2024-01-26 10:01 249M
 opensmtpd-filter-spamassassin-0.7p1.tgz 2024-01-26 10:01 1.7M
 openvpn-2.6.7.tgz 2024-01-26 10:01 702K
 openvpn-2.6.8.tgz 2024-01-26 10:01 705K
 p5-Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.66v0.tgz

That seemed to work.

thank you.

Adding to this. The Openvpn creating of keys seems to work. But when I make an ovpn file to connect my Windows computer to the Openvpn i get:
MANAGEMENT: >STATE:1707769228,RECONNECTING,private-key-password-failure

i created with the server and client keys with nopass, so I don't know where this is failing.

I recreated all the keys. my best guess I forgot to do the nopass on one of them. All is working now that I've downloaded a new version of Openvpn Connect.
