[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#888653: No openvpn connection possible since upgrade from 1.2.8-2 to 1.8.0-2

[Markus Schmees]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 1.8.0-2
Severity: important

Hey there,

since yesterdays upgrade of both network-manager-openvpn and network-manager-
openvpn-gnome, both from version 1.2.8-2 to version 1.8.0-2, all openvpn
connections don't work anymore.

This is the syslog output:
Jan 28 12:59:10 <mybook> NetworkManager[640]: <info>  [1517140750.8035] audit:

Failed to request VPN secrets #3: No agents were available for this request.

I suppose, there is something missing in the upgrade. Perhaps it's just a
symbolic link. I didn't manage to fix it, yet.


Thank you
Markus
