vpnc option missing from VPN Creation List !

[Lonnie Lee Best]

On a freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04 (with the network-manager-vpnc package installed), the vpnc option is missing from the list of VPN connections you can create. Look at this screenshot:

Using 14.04, here's a screenshot of what you're suppose to see:

Normally, vpnc is listed under the VPN section of the screenshot above, that upon clicking, provides an easy GUI interface for setting up VPNs to Cisco devices.

Can someone mark this bug with Highest reasonable importance? I'm unable to Remotely access the IT companies I support, due to this bug. I'm having to downgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 until this bug is fixed.

[Lonnie Lee Best (launchpad-startport)]

The issue is that the package-name has changed in Ubuntu 16.04.

In versions of Ubuntu prior to 16.04, you could install vpnc like this:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc

In Ubuntu 16.04, you install it like this:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-vpnc-gnome

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is this fixed after installing network-manager-vpnc-gnome?

[Lonnie Lee Best (launchpad-startport)]

Yes, it fixed the problem, but in previous versions of Ubuntu you only had to install network-manager-vpnc. Not until 16.04 was network-manager-vpnc-gnome necessary. This is what caused my initial confusion.
