Deleting the bionic line since it lacks enough details to be acted on at
this point and has no owner, if you want to suggest it to be reviewed
for that target best to tag it rls-bb-incoming so the team owning the
package can review and decide if that's an item they want to own (which
is blocking not the case until it has the required details to be worked
on)

** No longer affects: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu Bionic)

Title:
  [16.04] Unable to import OpenVPN configuration into Network Manager

Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in network-manager-openvpn source package in Xenial:
  New

Bug description:
  In 16.04, it is currently not possible to import OpenVPN
  configurations.  Specifically, imports fail with the error of:

  The file 'filename.ovpn' could not be read or does not contain
  recognized VPN connection information.

  Error: Key file contains line 'client' which is not a key-value pair,
  group, or comment.

  ------

  An example configuration that fails to import is as follows (with some
  critical components excluded, like a proper remote address, or a
  proper x509 name); this is a config that otherwise works with a Sophos
  XG Firewall-based SSL VPN system

  client
  dev tun
  persist-tun
  persist-key
  proto tcp
  verify-x509-name "<Proper CN/DN chain>"
  route remote_host 255.255.255.255 net_gateway
  resolv-retry infinite
  remote 1.2.3.4 8443 tcp
  ca ca.crt
  cert client.crt
  key client.key
  auth-user-pass
  cipher AES-256-CBC
  auth SHA512
  comp-lzo no
  route-delay 4
  verb 3
  reneg-sec 0

  ------

  This same exact configuration works with a direct call of `openvpn
  ./filename.ovpn`.

  Why Network Manager is unable to parse or import the OpenVPN
  configuration is beyond my ability to comprehend.

  Note that the same configuration made by hand in the new VPN window
  works fine, but the import function fails.  (Which is a pretty severe
  bug)
