Package: network-manager-openvpn-gnome
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: important
Since upgrading to network-manager* 1.0.6-1 the gnome network
applet (upper right corner) won't let me enable OpenVPN connections.
Whenever I try to enable a VPN connection the state flips right back
to disabled, without there being any actual connection attempt. While
failing, this is what "journalctl -u NetworkManager" has to say.

aug 30 13:45:10 corrino NetworkManager[740]: <warn> error disconnecting VPN:
Could not process the request because no VPN connection was active.
Looks like there is supposed to be a nm-openvpn user?
Manually adding a nm-openvpn user instead brought on a complaint about a
missing nm-openvpn group.
aug 30 13:56:43 corrino NetworkManager[740]: <warn> VPN connection 'halleck'
failed to connect interactively: 'Group 'nm-openvpn' not found, check
NM_OPENVPN_GROUP.'
Manually adding a nm-openvpn user and putting it in a nm-openvpn group did do
the trick.
# adduser --group --system nm-openvpn
