Public bug reported: It seems that openvpn expects /sbin/ifconfig and /sbin/route but they've been moved to /bin in Raring apparently. From the openvpn package in debian/rules:
ROUTE_PATH := /sbin/route override_dh_auto_configure: dh_auto_configure -- $(shell dpkg-buildflags --export=configure) --enable-password-save --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) --build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --prefix=/usr --mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man --with-ifconfig-path=/sbin/ifconfig --with-route-path=$(ROUTE_PATH) openvpn 2.2.1-8ubuntu3 net-tools 201303061704-quantal ** Affects: openvpn (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1162554 Title: openvpn requires /sbin/ifconfig and /sbin/route but they are missing in Raring To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1162554/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
