network-manager-openvpn-gnome - VPN definition is damaged when saved

[Milan Petruzelka]

OpenVPN connection settings are upon saving.

Steps to reproduce:

1. create OpenVPN connection using nmcli: nmcli connection import type openvpn test.ovpn
2. go to VPN settings
3. edit 'test' OpenVPN connection
4. fill random User private key password
5. save / apply changes
6. edit 'test' OpenVPN connection again

You'll see:
- User certificate is lost (filled with CA certificate)
- User private key is lost (empty)

Please check if 1.8.0-3 fixes this issue for you.

[Milan Petruzelka (mxt)]

I've updated the packages:

dpkg -l|grep r-op
ii network-manager-openvpn 1.8.0-3 amd64
ii network-manager-openvpn-gnome 1.8.0-3 amd64

Problem is SOLVED. Fields 'User certificate' and 'User private key' are not damaged upon saving anymore.

Thanks a lot for such a quick reaction.
