Comment 1 for bug 291263

I can confirm this problem.
The problem is caused by an incompatibility between the version of openvpn and kvpnc provided by intrepid. To be able to work with the current version of openvpn, kvpnc >= 0.9 is required. This means, that the problem should be fixed as soon a newer version of kvpnc is uploaded.

PS: I've been working with kubuntu intrepid for two months now, ignoring a great number of problems, but this problem has finally convinced me to return to hardy for now. *sigh*
