I have had the same issue after installing vpnc and network-manager- vpnc. Tried the fix by Patrick Healy - but it didn't help. Actually a reboot (first one after installing the packages mentioned before) did the trick (reverting the fix by Healy to the original), it even works with a root shell running.
