If you get an error that looks like

f5vpn: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.72: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

that means that your version of qt5-webkit is out-of-date with your icu version, and rebuilding/installing qt5-webkit` will fix your issue.

Since qt5-webkit takes a long time to build, see this comment from the maintainer of the qt5-webkit AUR package to download a build of that dependency.

Hi, I have used successfully this package for several months on Arch Linux. Since a few days I cannot connect with the following error:


f5-epi://externalgw.customer-site.it?server=externalgw.customer-site.it&version0=7183,2020,108,2059&id0=%7B45B69029-F3AB-4204-92DE-D5140C3E8E74%7D&package0=/public/download/InstallerControl.cab&version1=7120,2015,1230,1&id1=Service:F5+Networks+Component+Installer&package1=/public/download/2015/InstallerService.cab&version2=7183,2020,108,2059&id2=Service:F5+Networks+Component+Installer&package2=/public/download/InstallerService.cab&version3=7183,2020,108,2059&id3=%7B57C76689-F052-487B-A19F-855AFDDF28EE%7D&package3=/public/download/f5InspectionHost.cab&version4=7183,2020,108,2059&id4=Service:MachineCertService&package4=/public/download/MachineCertService.cab&version5=7183,2020,108,2059&id5=Service:F5InspectorService&package5=/public/download/f5is.cab&protocol=https&port=443&sid=440da0e8aaab60ed904309c2ee1863f0

(by the way, on Windows it is all ok)

what can I do? I am willing to rebuild the package if needed, as long as I can get some hint on what to change. Thank you very much

Hi @dyonysos, from my testing, vpn.f5.com is still on 7213.2021.0526.1. vpn.tcu.edu seems to be the only mirror I am aware of using 7220.2022.0308.1 at this point, so I updated the package to use it.

I don't know (for the moment) how I can contribute myself, but I hope these infos will allow you to udpate quickly :)

We can get the sums pretty easily from makepkg --geninteg, so if someone just marks the package as out-of-date, I get notified and can update the package soon afterwards.

Hello @zrhoffman,

I tried locally to update the package with one of the latest. Here's the info to upgrade your PKGBUILD:

@tpitkin Very cool, thanks for the tip!

@level101 Updated to 7214.2021.0915.1.

tpitkin commented on 2021-11-03 18:27 (UTC)

@zrhoffman, you might be able to get a more up-to-date version by using this mirror from F5: https://vpn.f5.com/public/download/linux_f5vpn.x86_64.rpm

zrhoffman commented on 2021-10-28 20:58 (UTC)

Work for me, but only after I run it with root (specifically kdesu)

@ttv20 If it works with root and does not work without, setuid is not working for some reason. If

stat -c%a /opt/f5/vpn/svpn

does not show 4755, the setuid bit is not set. Otherwise, maybe a security setting is keeping setuid from working, in this case.

@level101 I can't find any public mirrors for a newer version than 7213.2021.0628.1. If you find a mirror for 7214.2021.0915.1, let me know and I'll update the package.

level101 commented on 2021-10-07 14:18 (UTC)

@mike_yella I also stuck on Connection. But when I change network (ISP) it is connected successfully. Did not figure it out.

@zrhoffman there are new version 7214.2021.0915.1, could you please update this aur package. Maybe it will solve Connection issue. Thank you.

zrhoffman commented on 2021-03-15 14:48 (UTC)

No worries, glad you got it figured out.
