[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#667611: n-m-openvpn shuts down VPN when openvpn soft-restarts

[Matthew Gabeler-Lee]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 1.2.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #667611

I think the root cause of this issue may have changed over time, given the
activity on the upstream openvpn bug report, but the fact that it still
fails.

I see this locally with this error in the logs:

May  9 09:18:49 bengal nm-openvpn[20895]: Preserving previous TUN/TAP instance: tap0
May  9 09:18:49 bengal nm-openvpn[20895]: /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper --bus-name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn.Connection_53 --tap -- tap0 1500 1574 10.0.0.175 255.255.255.0 restart
May  9 09:18:49 bengal nm-openvpn[20895]: WARNING: Failed running command (--up/--down): could not execute external program
May  9 09:18:49 bengal nm-openvpn[20895]: Exiting due to fatal error

I think the problem now is that you can't use --up-restart with --chroot,
unless the --up script is also present at the same path in the chroot.

PS: #567153 is probably a duplicate of this issue.
