Comment 14 for bug 1688018

Cruz, thanks for this.

However, (1) after all the trouble I had getting OpenVPN working, I don't fancy switching to something else (and my system does work at present, using the older version of Network Manager).

Also, (2) I don't really understand what you say about /etc/hosts, though probably I could work it out.

Further, (3) if I understand the last paragraph of your comment #13: I don't know; after all, at the top of this page we can read not only, 'Xenial - In Progress' (though it seems pretty slow progress! It's been at least a month since this show-stopping bug was first reported) but also, 'Yakkety - Triaged'.
