I am trying to install an openvpn Software Packages at a new EC2 instance. After running: sudo dpkg -i openvpn-as-2.1.4b-Ubuntu16.amd_64.deb

The deb package is downloaded from https://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/download-openvpn-as-sw/113.html?osfamily=Ubuntu

The message shows the installation fails, and the message in the log is:

    Are you sure this package is made for your version of Ubuntu? Package name sounds like it's for Xenial, while your uname with 3.13.x #153-Ubuntu: sounds like Trusty.

    Assuming you just want OpenVPN, you may go with apt-get install openvpn instead of your dpkg. As a general rule: avoid using dpkg directly.
