Installing cisco-secure-client 5.1.6.103-1 onto a new (refurbished) Thinkpad, I'm getting an message ...

Connect capability is unavailable because the VPN service is unavailable.

On an older Thinkpad, I have Cisco AnyConnect 4.10.08029 working just fine, so it's not the destination network.

I found a similar error at https://forum.manjaro.org/t/anyconnect-connection-attempt-has-failed/155171/6 that pointed to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2141236#p2141236 as a solution. I've mostly tried to follow that. (There are some spelling mistakes there, so I've done my best to adjust).

I'm still having iusses with vpnagentd.


sudo systemctl enable --now vpnagentd.service
[sudo] password for daviding: The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, UpheldBy=, Also=, or Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled or disabled using systemctl.

Possible reasons for having these kinds of units are: • A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/, .requires/, or .upholds/ directory. • A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. • A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). • In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some instance name specified. Failed to start vpnagentd.service: Unit vpnagentd.service has a bad unit file setting. See system logs and 'systemctl status vpnagentd.service' for details.


Please let me know if I can provide any additional information for diagnosis.

PKGBUILD source link seems to be broken. Could not connect to server.

The updated source link (5.1.6.103) seems to work, thanks!

You may also need to install webkit2gtk if you need MFA authentication through SSO:

sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk
