NetworkManager is missing support for 'openvpn' VPN connections
SUMMARY
Network Manager could be a bit more helpful when required VPN support packages
are missing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Freshly installed minimal system, like Arch with base KDE/Plasma desktop
package (from the new archinstall script)
2. Import OpenVPN certificate.
3. Try to connect to this OpenVPN connection.
OBSERVED RESULT
Notification says:
> NetworkManager is missing support for 'openvpn' VPN connections. Please use
> the package manager to install it.
EXPECTED RESULT
When I was connecting an Android phone for the first time, applet suggested me
installing Camera app to make "import photos" action available. I'd expect
something similar for OpenVPN and other VPN backends too.
