I had the same problem with package network-manager-openvpn.
I could not create new openvpn connection, and when I tried to connect with my previously created openvpn configuration, the gnome GUI answered a message box ("There was a problem launching the authentication dialog for VPN connection type 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'. Contact your system administrator.").

Installing network-manager-openvpn-gnome and restarting network-manager with "sudo restart network-manager" solved the problem.
