When in the system tray I click on the network manager, choose an openvpn
connection, and tell it to connect it shows me: "Missing VPN plugin".

network-manager-openvpn is installed and it's been working since years but I
didn't use it in the last two months. So I guess an update of either plasma-nm
or network-manager itself led to that error.

After I've installed network-manager-openvpn-gnome I could start the vpn
connection using nmcli but still not usting plasma-nm

I've forgot to mention. I'm using a password protected key file. So
network-manager needs to ask me for the password.
