> why isn't plasma detecting that openvpn file is being run and openvpn package is missing so try to install this package? Presumably because right now we can't guarantee that the package is named "openvpn" on every distro. To make this work, we would need a way for distros to communicate to us what the name of the package is for them, perhaps via a CMake variable that they would have to set or override (if it defaulted to being "openvpn"). If we did that, it would be feasible to have plasma-nm use PackageKit to install it for you.
