Comment 2 for bug 1633877

I've reproduced this bug on a completely fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.10

Steps:

1) Install these packages:
sudo apt install network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-vpnc-gnome

2) Create an openVPN or cisco-vpnc VPN-Connection and input the additional search domains of the network you are connecting to here: http://neartalk.com/ss/2016-10-16_001_601x625.png

3) Connect to the VPN

4) Try to find the Additional search domains you've configured in the VPN:
nmcli dev show | grep DOMAIN

(you won't find them)

In Ubuntu 16.04, "nmcli dev show" would show the additional search domains specified in the VPN configuration. In 16.10, they do not show up and additional search domains do not work.
