<p>AppGate SDP provides a Zero Trust network. This post describes how to get AppGate SDP <code>4.3.2</code> working on Arch Linux.</p>
<p>Depending on the AppGate SDP Server that is running, you may require a client that is more recent than the latest package on <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/appgate-sdp/">AUR</a>.
As of right now, the latest AUR is <code>4.2.2-1</code>.</p>
<p>These steps highlight how to get it working with <code>Python3.8</code> by making a 1 line modification to AppGate source code.</p>
<h1 id="packaging">Packaging</h1>
<p>We already know the community package is currently out of date, so let&rsquo;s clone it:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell">git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/appgate-sdp.git
<span style="color:#366">cd</span> appgate-sdp
</code></pre></div><p>You&rsquo;ll likely notice that the version is not what we want, so let&rsquo;s modify the <code>PKGBUILD</code> to the following:</p>

</code></pre></div><p>This is a breaking change in Python3.8.</p>
<p>So what is calling <code>platform.linux_distribution</code>?</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s search for it:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-shell" data-lang="shell">$ sudo grep -r <span style="color:#c30">&#39;linux_distribution&#39;</span> /opt/appgate/linux/

</code></pre></div><p>Aha! So this is in the local AppGate source code. This should be an easy fix. Let&rsquo;s just replace this line with:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f0f3f3;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-python" data-lang="python"><span style="color:#069;font-weight:bold">if</span> <span style="color:#069;font-weight:bold">True</span>: <span style="color:#09f;font-style:italic"># Since we are not using Fedora :)</span>
</code></pre></div><h1 id="wrapping-up">Wrapping up</h1>
<p>It turns out there are <a href="https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution">breaking changes</a> in Python3.8.</p>
<p>The docs say <code>Deprecated since version 3.5, will be removed in version 3.8: See alternative like the distro package.</code></p>
<p>I suppose this highlights one of the caveats of relying upon the system&rsquo;s python, rather than having an isolated, dedicated environment for all dependencies.</p>
