Public bug reported:
After installing network-manager-openvpn(1.10.0-1ubuntu2),
openvpn(2.6.0~git20220818-1ubuntu1) is installed as a dependency.
Mentioned NM plugin uses openvpn option `--cipher` instead of `--data-
ciphers`. With openvpn2.6.0+ this breaks existing setups - connection
never establishes and fails with message like:
```
DEPRECATED OPTION: --cipher set to 'AES-256-CBC' but missing in --data-ciphers
(AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305). OpenVPN ignores --cipher for
cipher negotiations.
```
and
```
Connection reset, restarting [0]
```
reproducer: configure openVPN client against openVPN server with cipher
set to 'AES-256-CBC'.
workaround: manually install openvpn 2.5.x from sources and mask
distribution-provided openvpn 2.6.x.
proposed solution:
deliver compatible combination of network-manager-openvpn and openvpn.
