[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#990983: network-manager-openvpn: Connecting to OpenVPN Server 2.5.x with some IPv6 configuration fails

[Markus Frosch]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 1.8.12-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I've had some trouble connecting to an OpenVPN server with some IPv6
configuration.

It seems like this is only caused with server and client on 2.5.x, but I
wasn't able to test this to a good extend.

I was able to fix the issue with 1.8.14-1 from experimental. But I think
we should fix this for bullseye, a possible patch can be found in the
merge request below.

Do you need any help preparing or testing the patch for bullseye?

Regards
Markus Frosch
