Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Installed recent update to the gnome-control-center: 1:51~beta-1
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
Ineffective)?
Gnome can no longer start vpnc VPNs. OpenVPN and WireGuard connections are fine. I tried to connect to Cisco VPNs using vpnc from the shell and that worked.
* What was the outcome of this action?
It worked from a terminal shell.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I thought perhaps it was vpnc or some other network problem, but it appears to be a Gnome issue.
