Bug Description

NetworkManager has "VPN" tab enabled. I entered all the needed information there, but when I clicked on the created VPN connection, nothing happened. It turned out that by default, network-manager-openvpn was not installed. Once installed, everything worked.

Expected behavior: NM should suggest installing required package (network-manager-openvpn) if a VPN is configured, and/or not allow configuring a VPN unless this package is installed.
