In ubuntu 16.04 I'm able to import almost all my 6 .ovpn profiles with all inline certs.

But one profile fails.

The non-importable .ovpn profile works very well if used via commandline (sudo openvpn profile_001.ovpn) or in other vpn clients for OS X and windows.

The error I get on ubuntu mate for raspberry Pi 2 is:
-----
Cannot import VPN connection
The file 'profile_001.ovpn' could not be read or does not contain recognized VPN connection information

Error: the plugin does not support import capability.

The error I get on my core i5 desktop

The file 'profile_001.ovpn' could not be read or does not contain recognized VPN connection information

Error: Key files contains line 'dev tun' which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment.
