I have a working racoon ipsec vpn setup on an ubuntu lucid server. To set it up, I just did an apt-get on the ipsectools package and configured the racoon.conf file.
If I take the exact same steps, but also install the racoon package in precise (it's separated from ipsec-tools in precise) and use an identical config, the racoon daemon won't even start.
If you set logging in racoon to debug, you see the following in the syslog:
Nov 21 00:42:02 vpnhub2 racoon: DEBUG: getsainfo params: loc='ANONYMOUS' rmt='ANONYMOUS' peer='NULL' client='NULL' id=1

Nov 21 00:42:02 vpnhub2 racoon: DEBUG: pfkey X_SPDDUMP failed: No such file or directory
Racoon crashes shortly after you start it. It does this whether I use my config or the default one installed with the package.
I have tried this on a rackspace cloud server and a vm on virtualbox, using the 32bit and 64bit versions - same result.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the current version of racoon not working?
