[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#810076: network-manager: NM does not honor "push route" any more

[Thomas Prokosch]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have just upgraded network-manager from 1.0.6 to 1.0.10 just to
determine that my OpenVPN connection stopped working. Downgrading to
1.0.6 fixes the connection again.

In my configuration, the central OpenVPN server pushes some route to
the client with the

   push "route 192.168.x.x 255.255.x.x"

directive. Everything has been set up properly so whenever I make a

   ip route

on my nm-1.0.6 client I see the appropriate route. However, this has
changed with 1.0.10: The appropriate route is no longer listed when
doing a call to "ip route".

If this behaviour change is intended, I could not find documentation
on how to manually revert to the previous behaviour. If this change
was not done by intention, it is a regression we should trace and fix.
I am filing this bug report with network-manager (not
network-manager-openvpn) because downgrading network-manager-openvpn
alone did not have an effect. However, downgrading network-manager
(without downgrading network-manager-openvpn) already had the desired
effect.

My current (working) package combination is:
hi  network-manager                       1.0.6-1
ii  network-manager-gnome                 1.0.10-1
hi  network-manager-openvpn               1.0.6-3

Best regards,
Thomas
