I recently upgraded my system to Ubuntu 24.04, and since then, the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client (version 4.10.06090) has stopped working. When I try to access my company's VPN, I get the following error message: "You are missing the required libraries for the authentication method you requested." We use Azure for authentication. Checking the system logs, I found the following error: acvpnui: Function: launchBrowser File: ../../../vpn/WebHelper/Plugin/WebHelperPluginImpl.cpp Line: 774 The AnyConnect embedded web browser requires WebKitGTK+ 2.1x or higher. Please install WebKitGTK+ and its dependencies. I have verified that WebKitGTK+ is installed on my system. Here is the output of dpkg -l | grep webkit:

Despite having the necessary libraries, the error persists. I've tried reinstalling both the Cisco AnyConnect client and the WebKitGTK+ libraries, but the issue remains unresolved. Has anyone faced a similar issue or can anyone suggest a solution to fix this error? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
