Like this, where "…" is a removed uuid:

Nov 14 12:16:35 localhost NetworkManager[421]: <info>  [1510661795.5451] audit: op="connection-activate" uuid="…" name="VPN HS-BO" pid=639 uid=1000 result="fail" reason="The VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc' was not installed."

NetworkManager-vpnc is in my profile (I have to send this in)
and the vpnc file and profile is correct.
