Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
(0) Install Bionic desktop
(1) Observe that only PPTP connection type is available when adding a VPN in
the UI (using any method).
(2) Run `sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn`.
(3) Observe that in the top panel "VPN Settings" option, clicking the "+" next
to "VPN" does not reveal any new VPN type options.
(4) Run `nm-connection-editor` from the command-line, and observe that not only
is there no option to add an OpenVPN connection, but in addition, the following
message is printed on the console:
** Message: vpn: (openvpn,/usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-openvpn-
service.name) file "libnm-vpn-plugin-openvpn.so" not found. Did you
install the client package?
Installing `network-manager-openvpn-gnome` seems to do the right thing,
but the process of finding what should be installed isn't obvious to the
user.
