[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1132272: network-manager-openvpn: Empty "VPN" tab in nm-applet

[li ar]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 1.12.3-1~deb13u1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: liar666 at yopmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
     I'm trying to add a VPN connection in nm-applet from a saved config 
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
     In nm-applet, I tried creating VPN connection from file or manually. VPN tab is still empty. I cannot enter my user/pass thus VPN connection is considered incomplete => "save" button greyed-out
     In CLI I tried to run "openvpn --config /tmp/openvpn_client.ovpn" and "nmcli connection import type openvpn file /tmp/openvpn_client.ovpn". VPN connection gets created but "VPN" tab in nm-applet still empty => I cannot enter credentials => VPN entry does not work.
     I tried to restart NM "service"/daemon. With no luck.
     I tried to include the user/pass in the "openvpn_client.ovpn" file through "auth-user-pass <filename>" directive, but does not work either.
     I tried to install the latest (stable/unstable) version of network-manager-openvpn package but it requires to upgrade other packages (libnm0) and I didn't want to break my system.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     See above the various results for various commands
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     I need the VPN tab of nm-applet to show the various textboxes for its configuration, included username & passaword, so that I can enter & save them!
