I encountered this bug also, with a fresh install of karmic (UNR), vpnc, and network-manager-vpnc .My company's vpn requires that I enter a passcode from an RSA SecurID token, but I did not ever get prompted for such.
I did find the following workaround:
- NetworkManager \ VPN Connections \ Configure VPN
- Select my VPN connection, press 'Edit'
- change User Password from "Always Ask' to 'Saved'
- enter an arbitrary value for the password ; then Apply
- attempt a connection to the VPN, it will fail
- go back into Network Manager, clear the password, and change "Saved" back to "Always Ask"; the Apply
- attempt a connection to the VPN. Now it works.
