Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading network-manager to 0.9.10.0-6 I have problem with connecting to PPTP VPN.
plasma-nm shows only that "Connection to "name of profile" is now deactivated."
I noticed that problem occurs only with new created VPN profiles. Connecting to profiles created before package upgrade is doing well.
So maybe problem is how to newer network-manager creates profiles?
Unfortunately I can't compere it because I deleted all in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ during tests without backups (shame on me).
Some logs:
