Comment 40 for bug 360818

I have had the same issue after installing vpnc and network-manager-vpnc. Tried the fix by Patrick Healy - but it didn't help. Actually a reboot (first one after installing the packages mentioned before) did the trick (reverting the fix by Healy to the original), it even works with a root shell running.

Btw: Ubuntu 9.04
network-manager: 0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2
network-manager-vpnc: 0.7.1~rc4.20090316+bzr21-0ubuntu
Output of dpkg-query:
 /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-vpnc-service.conf fd1972dab1966261b4cc7aaa274d3e84
