Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 1.2.6-2
Severity: normal

After upgrading to openvpn 2.4~rc1-2, my VPN connection began to fail:

Dec 13 09:49:37 xps13 NetworkManager[738]: Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in [CMD-LINE]:1: tls-remote (2.4_rc1)
(Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in [CMD-LINE]:1: tls-remote (2.4_rc1)

I'm working around this by reverting to openvpn 2.3.11-2.

Dear openvpn maintainers,

could you have a look at this bug report please.
It seems the new openvpn rc release breaks the NetworkManager openvpn
plugin.
I've bumped it to RC, so the package doesn't migrate to testing for now.

If there is something which needs to be fixed on the
network-manager-openvpn, please clone this bug report or reassign back.

Regards,
Michael

Hi there,

The --tls-remote was removed in OpenVPN 2.4, and was already marked as
DEPRECATED in OpenVPN 2.3. From OpenVPN 2.3's manpage:

Please  also note: This option is now deprecated.  It will be removed
either in OpenVPN v2.4 or v2.5.  So please make sure you support the new
X.509  name formatting  described  with  the  --compat-names option as
soon as possible by updating your configurations to use
--verify-x509-name instead.

IMHO this should have been fixed in network-manager-openvpn before 2.4
arrived.

Regards,

Alberto

Ok, thanks for the info.
I've cloned this bug report for openvpn. It needs a versioned Breaks
against network-manager-openvpn once a fixed version has been uploaded, to
avoid breakage on partial uploads.

I'll ping you once such a version is available.

Regards,
Michael

As Michael explains in #848024 this is not a bug and this does not break
NetworkManager(-openvpn), but a deprecated (long time ago) option that
is now gone.

I'll add a NEWS.Debian entry to warn users.
