I'm installing a new machine with ver 8.04, but I can not find the openvpn-admin package.
On 7.04 I had this package available in the repository. How can I get it to work on 8.04 ??

Any help is appreciated, this is very important to me

I don't know of a admin package.
But if you want you can install with the packages on that site.

The mono package seem to have been renamed in hardy. If you have mono installed, you just have to force the installation of the deb package :

dpkg -i --force-deps openvpn-admin-xxxxx.deb

It's how I installed it and it works !

Yes, this works, but seems to iritate apt and synaptic. On next install/remove via apt, it marked openvpn-admin as a must remove package, because it requires mono, that is no more "installable". Is there a way to tell apt to don't worry about this forced package?

echo openvpn-admin hold | dpkg --set-selections

didn't help. Or is there a way of rebuilding a package dependencies in a openvpn-admin.deb ?

EDIT: I remove the "old-named" mono package from dependency control list of a original .deb .Now apt is happy, and synaptic show the package as "local".
