openvpn does not find `GNUTLS_3_6_9'

[Karl Kastner]

After upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS Jammy, openvpn stopped working with the error message:

openconnect: /usr/local/lib/libp11-kit.so.0: no version information available (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenconnect.so.5)
openconnect: /usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.30: version `GNUTLS_3_6_9' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenconnect.so.5)
openconnect: /usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.30: version `GNUTLS_3_6_0' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenconnect.so.5)

Can neither be resolved by reinstalling gnutls nor openvpn.

Installed is

dpkg -la | grep gnutls30
ii libgnutls30:amd64 3.7.3-4ubuntu1.2 amd64 GNU TLS library - main runtime library
ii libgnutls30:i386 3.7.3-4ubuntu1.2 i386 GNU TLS library - main runtime library

But this only contains older versions of gnutls

strings /usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.30 | grep GNUTLS_3
GNUTLS_3_4

Thank you for your bug report but /usr/local is not a directory used by Ubuntu package but reserved for local installation so it seems the problem is that installed some software there which aren't compatible with the system versions anymore. You should probably try to clean those /usr/local copies. Closing since that's not an Ubuntu bug but a local installation problem

Thanks for the hint. The current versions of libgnutls indeed reside in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.30 and /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.30. After removing the spurious /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.30 and /usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.30 which seem to have resided there since 2018 it works flawlessly again.

Great, thanks for the update!
