Did you download the deb files?

Seems to be in the default repos. Have you tried these instead?

No.
That's my question - where are the deb files?
I search for them online, found few but not the openvswitch-
Just run:
sudo apt install openvswitch-switch python3-openvswitch openvswitch-common
Should do it

It seems that a openvswitch-ipsec package does no more exist in Ubuntu releases 18.04 and later (was removed between version 2.6.1 and 2.7.0)
Which Ubuntu release are you running?
Amir Yungman (ayungman) said : | #6 |
Yep, that's what I found also about "Ubuntu releases 18.04 and later"
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS kernel 5.4.0-26-generic
when running "sudo apt install openvswitch..." I get:
openvswitch-switch is already the newest version (2.13.0-0ubuntu1).
this link is obsolete?

Is that mean that "Encrypt Open vSwitch Tunnels with IPsec" is no longer possible ??

Checking the openvswitch changelog in Debian https:/
* Reintroduce the openvswitch-ipsec package.
I do not know why Ubuntu did not follow Debian in that respect.
This might be a bug in Ubuntu packaging that should be reported accordingly.
Amir Yungman (ayungman) said : | #8 |
found before:
openvswitch (2.8.1+dfsg1-5) unstable; urgency=medium
* Removed deprecated openvswitch-ipsec (Closes: #887031).
so either its indeed obsolete and there is no replacement.
or should it be reported as bug? missing?
how to report?
You can start the process with:
ubuntu-bug openvswitch
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : | #10 |
Look at the history in Debian:
2.8.1 - Removed deprecated openvswitch-ipsec
2.11.0 - Reintroduce the openvswitch-ipsec package.
So it seems that it is no more deprecated but missing in Ubuntu.
Can you help with this problem?
