Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 0.7.1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
After upgrading from the previous version of the package in squeeze to
the current version, I was unable to start the OpenVPN connection I use
to secure my wireless network.
Looking in /var/log/syslog revealed this:
May 9 17:03:15 lflap2 NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin state changed:
3
May 9 17:03:15 lflap2 NetworkManager: <info> VPN connection 'Home (at
home)' (Connect) reply received.
May 9 17:03:15 lflap2 NetworkManager: <WARN>
nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): VPN connection 'Home (at home)' failed
to connect: 'No VPN secrets!'.
May 9 17:03:15 lflap2 NetworkManager: <WARN>
connection_state_changed(): Could not process the request because no VPN
connection was active.
May 9 17:03:15 lflap2 NetworkManager: <info> Policy set 'Auto LICQUIA'
(wlan0) as default for routing and DNS.
Searching on the phrase "No VPN secrets" brought me to this Ubuntu bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/360818
which contained this patch for the vpnc plugin:

(Sorry if that's all screwed up; time to switch my default editor.)
Applying that patch to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openvpn-service.conf,
logging out, and logging back in caused OpenVPN support to work again.
Why grave? Without this patch, I found it impossible to use OpenVPN
from NetworkManager. That seems to qualify as "making the package
unusable for all or most users".
