Bug 503378 – kde-misc/networkmanagement should optionally depend on net-misc/networkmanager-openconnect

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Taahir Ahmed 2014-03-04 05:35:01 UTC]

Networkmanagement has the conditional dependency openconnect ? (net-misc/openconnect).  However, networkmanagement doesn't implement its own openconnect management; instead it uses networkmanager's openconnect.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.On a system with net-misc/openconnect installed, but without net-misc/networkmanager-openconnect:
2. Attempt to use kde-misc/networkmanagement to connect to an AnyConnect vpn.
3. A libnotify bubble pops up with the message: Connection <redacted> failed:
Failed to execute child process "/usr/libexec/nm-openconnect-service" (No such file or directory)
Actual Results:  
Connection fails since the networkmanager-openconnect component is missing.

Expected Results:  
Connection should succeed by invoking the networkmanager-openconnect component.

Networkmanagement should replace the dependency "openconnect ? (net-misc/openconnect)" with the dependency "openconnect ? (net-misc/networkmanager-openconnect)" since that's what it uses.  Note that networkmanager-openconnect subsequently pulls in the dependency on net-misc/openconnect.

Deprecated in favour of kde-misc/plasma-nm.

plasma-nm is not stable yet and there is a stable branch upstream where at least some actions happen.

But this bug has nothing to do with upstream. It's gentoo-specific. Just one wrong dependency

[Comment 5 Taahir Ahmed 2014-04-09 20:03:38 UTC]

It's worth noting that plasma-nm also suffers from the same bug.

[Comment 6 Taahir Ahmed 2014-04-09 20:14:15 UTC]

Equivalent bug for plasma-nm has been opened: Bug 507270
