Bug Description

PROBLEM:

Bridge-utils is not a dependency and is not in the correct location (according to gadmin-openvpn-server)

OUTPUT:

sudo gadmin-openvpn-server
OpenVPN 2.2.0 x86_64-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO2] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [eurephia] [MH] [PF_INET6] [IPv6 payload 20110424-2 (2.2RC2)]
 built on Jul 4 2011
Copyright (C) 2002-2010 OpenVPN Technologies, Inc. <email address hidden>
sh: /usr/sbin/brctl: not found

[You get a pop-up complaining that bridge-utils is not installed]

WORKAROUND:
sudo apt-get install bridge-utils # Install bridge-utils package
sudo ln -s $(which brctl) /usr/sbin/brctl # symlink /sbin/brctl to /usr/sbin/brctl to make gadmin-openvpn-server happy

SUGGESTED RESOLUTION:

1. Add "bridge-utils" package as a depenedency
2. Recompile gadmin-openvpn-server to pull brctl from the system PATH (or from its new location in /sbin)
