The linux-image kernel package on Ubuntu 18.04 is currently linux- image-4.15.0-13 [Test Case] * apt install network-manager-l2tp-gnome * Add new VPN connection via network manager * establish vpn connection [Regression Potential] * For Bionic, there is none. The xl2tpd daemon does not work without the patch on the standard bionic kernel. * For Xenial w/ the 4.15 HWE kernel there is no risk. * For Xenial w/ the stock 4.4 kernel there is minimal risk as the code is pulling values that are not valid on the 4.4 kernel by default. Note that a test pkg (Pre-SRU) has been tested for both Bionic and Xenial by a user affected by this problem and the package has been proven to work as expected on the different supported Ubuntu kernel series (v4.4, v4.13, v4.15). For more details, please have a look at comment #17 and #23.
