Description:

After installing "plasma" and "networkmanager", the systemsettings app allows to import a vpn connection, but crashed as soon as a file is selected in the file selection window.

This is solved by manually installing missing networkmanager-openvpn package.


I think this package should probably be pulled as a dependency somewhere.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Have plasma and networkmanager installed, via "plasma" and "networkmanager"
2. Have an "*.ovpn" file being a valid Open VPN profile file.
3. Open System Settings, under "Network" select Connections
4. Use the "+" icon at the bottom, under the list of configured connections.
5. Scroll down, and under "Other" select "Import VPN connection"
6. Select the "*.ovpn" file.
7. System Settings crashes, and the crash handler is invoked ( it says my backtrace was useless, probably because it's not a debug build )

Installing "networkmanager-openvpn" fixes this problem immediately, with zero additional steps required.
