Network-manager-vpnc does not work any longer with latest network-manager update

[Nicola Ferralis]

Network-manager has been updated to version 0.7 (from 0.6.4) with the latest large update. Unfortunately this broke Network-manager-vpnc (still based 0.6.5).

VPN does not work any longer!

A fix would be to backport also Network-manager-vpnc from intrepid.

I recompiled Network-manager-vpnc straight from intrepid source (v.0.7) and it works beautifully. I didn't make any diff, since the source is untouched from intrepid.

A deb of the recompiled version is attached below for testing. The configuration panel is still vertically taller than the screen size (as per #290521).

A note of clarification. Network-manager 0.7 is available only if the proposed repository is enabled.

[Nicola Ferralis (feranick)]

This should be pushed ASAP since it prevents many users from connecting trough VPN-vpnc.

The issue is even more pressing since now network-manager v.0.7 is in the main repo.

[Nicola Ferralis (feranick)]

Still missing from the last batch of proposed updates.

Any update about this bug?

I have installed the deb package by feranick and it seems to work

I filed a new bug for openvpn:

Also available a build of network-manager-openvpn from intrepid that should work. Any testing is appreciated.

Still missing in the today update of nm to version 0.7.1....

I recompiled Network-manager-vpnc straight from karmic source (v.0.71-0ubuntu2) and it works beautifully. I didn't make any diff, since the source is untouched from intrepid.
