[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#832530: network-manager-openvpn: Route and DNS server are not applied to the system, , no matter where they come from

[J. R. Schmid]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 1.2.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6

Dear Maintainer,

in a OpenVPN setup where everything is proven to work as expected using the
`openvpn` command line client, the following happens when using
NetworkManager
to connect to the VPN instead:

- first, the connection is established successfully
- but then, no extra routes or DNS servers are set

The extra routes (i.e. any routes not to 10.8.0.0) or DNS servers are
not set
whether the OpenVPN server pushes them down or whether they are set
manually in
the NM GUI. In the latter case, the settings for them are properly
written into
`/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<connection name>`, though. If
routes
and DNS servers are manually set after the VPN connection has been
established
by NM, everything works normally.

This bug might be connected to #487378, even though that bug report does not
mention DNS servers at all, nor the distinction between pushed routes/DNS
servers and ones set through the NM GUI.

Cheers,
Jonathan
