Public bug reported: The systemd generator for openvpn (filesystem: /lib/systemd/system- generators/openvpn-generator; git: openvpn/debian/openvpn-generator) does not seem to work correctly with multiple configurations.
When run a second time the symlinks exist and the generator fails on the first config and does not make it through the loop of all configs. This means if a config is added later and glob sorts after the first config it will never be linked. I believe the ln -s invocation should be ln -sf root@host:~# lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
