[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#822479: network-manager-openvpn-gnome: Plugin fails to load when using Connection Editor

[Craig McM]

Package: network-manager-openvpn-gnome
Version: 1.2.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Clicking "Configure VPN" in the nm-applet, opens the "Connection Editor"
clicking the add button displays a window to choose Connection Type,
OpenVPN options are not listed.
In terminal, the following output is displayed:
** (nm-connection-editor:4074): WARNING **: vpn:
(openvpn,/usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-openvpn-service.name)
could not load plugin: path is not absolute (libnm-vpn-plugin-openvpn.so)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Looking at the file (/usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-openvpn-service.name)
and comparing it to the old version installed with (network-manager-openvpn-
gnome_1.1.93-1_amd64.deb)
it seems lines #8 & #12 have changed which looks like the cause of the plugin
not being loaded.

Old lines:
#8 plugin=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/NetworkManager/libnm-vpn-plugin-openvpn.so
#12 properties=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/NetworkManager/libnm-openvpn-
properties

New lines from package (network-manager-openvpn_1.2.0-1_amd64.deb)
#8 plugin=libnm-vpn-plugin-openvpn.so
#12 properties=libnm-openvpn-properties

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Changing the 2 lines back to the old lines then opening the Connection Editor,
makes the option to create/import a openvpn config display.

## First time reporting a bug for Debian, so apologies in advance ;)
