Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver compatibility

Hi,
Is network-manager-sstp supposed to work with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver?
I have test machine with clean installation of that Ubuntu and it cannot be installed.
This is what I have:
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 61FF9694161CE595
Added below two lines into the following file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sstp-client.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/eivnaes/network-manager-sstp/ubuntu bionic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/eivnaes/network-manager-sstp/ubuntu bionic main
apt-get update
apt-get install network-manager-sstp sstp-client

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
network-manager-sstp : Depends: ppp (< 2.4.7-2~) but 2.4.7-2+2ubuntu1 is to be installed
sstp-client : Depends: libevent-2.0-5 (>= 2.0.10-stable) but it is not installable
Depends: ppp (< 2.4.7-2~) but 2.4.7-2+2ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cool, I'll see if I can get this one sorted out soon.
Thanks for reporting it.
The sstp-client might need modifications for bionic first.
Either use libssl1.0.0 and install libssl1.0-dev explicitly, or use my branch for libssl1.1. It also installs the plugin for ppp in /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5 (Ubuntu comes with 2.4.7 since xenial, but 2.4.5 seems to be hardcoded, and the configure switch for it doesn't seem to work). Adding the full path to plugin in /etc/ppp/peers/ files or moving the plugin files worked. Also, the sstp-sock path was wrong (had to prepend /usr/local to /var/run/sstpc/sstpc-uds-sock), but this is all for another project :).
I've made the sstp-client work somehow, but was unable to integrate network-manager-sstp still.
What I've seen funny so far are the folders. I used --prefix=/usr and got:
nm-sstp-service.confinstalled in/usr/etc/dbus-1/system.d/;nm-sstp-auth-dialogandnm-sstp-serviceinstalled in/usr/libexec/, but thenm-sstp-service.namepointed to/usr/local/libexec/;
After some fixes,nm-connection-editorsays:
vpn: (sstp,/usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-sstp-service.name) file "libnm-vpn-plugin-sstp.so" not found. Did you install the client package?
even though the file is there.
When I set the full path, I get:
Could not load editor VPN plugin for “org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sstp” (missing plugin file "/usr/local/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-vpn-plugin-sstp-editor.so").
So, the prefix thingy doesn't work quite well.
Without the prefixes (both on sstp-client and network-manager-sstp), I had to move the nm-sstp-service.conf only and got the dialogs set up. But, the connection fails with
NetworkManager[13586]: /usr/sbin/pppd: /usr/local/lib/pppd/2.4.7/nm-sstp-pppd-plugin.so: undefined symbol: sstp_api_msg_new
Could you sync your Ubuntu Bionic Beaver distribution with the PPA and try to re-install the packages again?
Good job enaess!
In my case it installs without any issue now.
