[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1068310: network-manager-openvpn: regression in 1.10.2-4+ does not accept a saved password from network-manager.

[Adam Hough]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 1.10.2-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?

Upgraded to network-manager-openvpn to 1.10.2-4 in testing which resulted in network-manager not accepting a saved password for setting up a openvpn connection. (password-flags=0). 

Syslog error message:
NetworkManager[415994]: <warn>  [1712096590.8934] vpn[<redacted>]: secrets: failed to request VPN secrets #4: No agents were available for this request.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Upgraded to 1.10.2-4+b1 in unstable which also had the same issue. Eventually downgraded back to 1.10.2-2 which resolved the issue.


   * What was the outcome of this action?

Downgrading to 1.10.2-2 resolved the issue and allowed for saved passwords to work in network-manager for openvpn connections. 

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Expected password-flags=0 with username and password defined to work.
