Bug Description

Hello.

I'm somewhat confused with the fact that some plugins are present for Bionic and not for Focal and newer releases.

For example: attr-sql, sqlite, mysql.

Is this a bug or intentional change?

I can confirm that `attr-sql` support was dropped in November 2019 (so for Focal 20.04) as it was deemed too uncommon to support by default (that's what the changelog entry for 5.8.1-1ubuntu1 implies).

Sorry to hear that you depend on those. I'm not familiar with it myself but maybe the strongswan mailing list (https://lists.strongswan.org/mailman/listinfo/users) could help you figure a different way to accomplish what you need without the `attr-sql` plugin?

Yes I can confirm attr-sql was dropped, and it looks like other plugins were as well. Some have moved to separate binary packages, e.g. libstrongswan-extra-plugins.

Please feel free to reopen if there is a specific problem with the plugins that need addressed in Ubuntu.
