Handle multiple search domains

[Vsevolod Velichko]

Current versions of network-manager-openvpn in Ubuntu don't support the case when the openvpn returns more than one search domain. In this case only the first one is written to the resolv.conf so the vpn can be considered practically broken.
It has been recently fixed in upstream[1], so may be it's time to update the version of the package (or at least backport the patch, it can be easily applied to the current network-manager-openvpn-0.9.6 in Ubuntu)?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Logan Rosen (logan)]

network-manager-openvpn 0.9.8.0-1 is available in Debian experimental.

[Logan Rosen (logan)]

Actually, setting this to Medium due to the importance of the issue at hand and the chance of the fix being backported.

[Ben Hearsum (bhearsum)]

This is a pretty big issue for anyone using a VPN with multiple search domains. Is this going to get backported soon? Is there a known workaround?

[Vsevolod Velichko (torkvemada)]

Ben, I'm currently doing apt-get source && patch && dpkg-buildpackage -b
This patch applies without any problems or conflicts, so it's easy workaround. However, I'm also waiting for the packages to be fixed.

network-manager-openvpn 0.9.8 is available in the development release of Ubuntu "Saucy"
