Package: openvpn
Version: 2.3.10-1+devuan1
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,

openvpn (2.3.10-1+devuan1) is uninstalable in beowulf as it depends on not
available package libssl1.0.2

However debian buster provides openvpn_2.4.7-1, which can be installed
in beowulf.

Please update package repositories to include openvpn_2.4.7-1

Sample commands:

# apt update > /dev/null 2>&1 && apt install openvpn
