NetworkManager-l2tp runtime uses kl2tpd if it finds it and falls back to xl2tpd if it doesn't.

kl2tpd is part of go-l2tp package, aka golang-github-katalix-l2tp that has been packaged since Fedora 41.

The reason go-l2tp hasn't been made a default dependency for NetworkManager-l2tp up to this point is because of the following selinux-policy issue:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/issues/2259

and was waiting for this selinux-policy pull request to be accepted that fixes it:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy/pull/2317

Anyway, I guess to solve the immediate package dependency issue that was a result of orphaning xl2tpd is if I change the NetworkManager-l2tp dependency from xl2tpd to golang-github-katalix-l2tp for Fedora >= 43. I'll try and do that later today when I get home.



Cheers,
Doug
