Well, the interesting line would have been the "signature" line at the end of that section, immediately before the "openvpn (2.4[...]" header line for the next-mentioned-package-version's section.... But seeing Gert Doering mentioned in that quoted text was enough to make me wonder if this was a package built by the OpenVPN project -- and sure enough, the "-xenial0" naming convention seems to be what they use (as shown in this repository listing: https://build.openvpn.net/debian/openvpn/release/2.4/pool/xenial/main/o/ ) So now my guess is that you had an apt sources.list entry pointing to the build.openvpn.net repo back in your Xenial days, which then probably got disabled by the Ubuntu release-upgrade process (and thus apt no longer suggests newer versions of the OpenVPN package from that repo). Anyway, at this point I think your choices now (when you are back home) are either to manually switch to the current Ubuntu-provided package (as discussed in the earlier emails), or to re-enable the build.openvpn.net repo (switching to their Focal release) and then upgrade to the newer package currently provided there. But presumably one way or the other you will want to upgrade away from 2.4.7-xenial0...
