Package: network-manager-openvpn Version: 1.8.6-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Current network-manager-openvpn (or network-manager-openvpn-gnome) do not let one import an .ovpn file which is perfectly valid, aka usable with simple `openvpn --config` call. For what I have tried for now I found that : - it does not like the `<connection></connection>` parts of such a file, - it does not support some options of the `route` command. I guess it parses the file and do not let openvpn decide if the file is appropriate or not. The only usable workaround for a user is thus to start openvpn from the command line, and thus not being able to use network manager credentials management process (aka need to input login and password any time the VPN is started), nor the NM status notification, nor the authorization integration (need to use `sudo` for each start). We should find a way to use any valid current openvpn configuration file, I do not have the GUI programming skills however. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages network-manager-openvpn depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii libc6 2.27-6 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.1-2 ii libnm0 1.12.4-1 ii network-manager 1.12.4-1 ii openvpn 2.4.6-1 network-manager-openvpn recommends no packages. network-manager-openvpn suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
