Description Jordi Yeh 2005-12-28 13:50:28 UTC

Options error: In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file:

Applying the following patch solved the error opening configuration file.

An alternative would be to fix the -cd ${VPN} to -cd ${VPNDIR} instead, but it did not work for me.

Or just use the current ~ARCH version.

I've opened a new bug asking for it to be marked stable.
