If you want to use old pulse-secure client 9.1r9, please download the following package.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_8tRA-T9vV08n_TpHqdcG5IvalxBuZ7_/view?usp=sharing

The rewritten pulse-secure client requires a service called 'pulsesecure'. Please enable and start the service before running the client.

Seems like Pulse Secure did a re-write of the pulse application. It seems that they changed the package name from "pulse" to "pulsesecure" as well.

I posted into their community support forums to hopefully bring some sort of awareness to this issue:

https://community.pulsesecure.net/t5/Pulse-Desktop-Clients/Linux-Pulse-Client-does-not-work-with-curl-7-74/td-p/44378/jump-to/first-unread-message

I don't see how to contact any one from https://www.pulsesecure.net to help solve the issue, anyone knows? Have anyone tried contacting pulsesecure guys?

You can also get old versions of packages from the archive, https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/c/curl.

BTW, the error I'm seeing although getting fixed by downgrading curl, is a bit different from the one posted in the curl issue. IT seems like having issues parsing some openssl confg file:

That gotten from strace, bacause the only message gotten when running pulse is "Segmentation fault"

@anatolik I have the same issue you reported. I've temporarily downgraded curl to 7.73 via downgrade package. (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade/)

I see following issue with this package https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/6306

Does anybody see it as well?

The patch needs to be updated for 9.1r9-0. Specifically the SUPPORTED_OSTYPES_LIST line:
