Package: openvpn
Version: 2.4.0-5
Severity: minor
Hi Alberto,
I just upgraded my openvpn server from jessie to stretch, and my custom config
failed to work due to missing quotes around push. It would be nice to document
this change in the NEWS file so people using apt-listchanges will know what they
need to adjust their config.
The error in syslog was:
> Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in
> /etc/openvpn/gits.conf:34: push (2.4.0)
For example, the following worked in jessie:
> push persist-tun
Whereas it had to be changed to:
> push "persist-tun"
to work again in stretch.
Regards,
Lee

Dear reporter,
thanks for reporting bugs and making Debian better. Unfortunately your
bug report could not be properly dealt with in time.
The bug you are describing seems to affect an outdated version of
OpenVPN in Debian. It would be very time consuming to verify this in a
current version, and we believe the issue might have been fixed in the
meantime. We are therefor closing this bug report.
If you can still reproduce this issue on an up-to-date system (Debian 10
Buster or newer) feel free to reopen this bug report.
Best Regards,
Your OpenVPN maintainers
