Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 1.2.8-2
Severity: normal

Dear maintainers,

thanks for your work, it's really apreciated.

Today I started to play with network-manager-openvpn and found that you can't
add a new openvpn connection using the GUI panel unless you install the 
network-manager-openvpn-gnome package, which is weird since it is not even in
Recommends.

The GUI error message complains about a missing 
libmn-vpn-plugin-openvpn-editor.so
library. Perhaps you should put this as Depends?

best regards.

The package split is done this way, because other desktop environments, like
KDE, can use network-manager-openvpn but don't need the dialogs provided in
network-manager-openvpn-gnome, as they provide their own gui via plasma-nm.

Adding a Depends would break this use case, so the current setup is
deliberately chosen this way.

network-manager-gnome (shipping nm-connection-editor), recommends the -gnome
packages.

Thus closing the bug report.

Regards,
Michael
