Just to be sure: have you only noticed this variable or have you sou= rced
the new .guix-profile/etc/profile where it should be included?

Not 100% sure what you mean but the following is in= the output of "env" : NM_VPN_PLUGIN_DIR=3D/gnu/store/1k98ck98lir= fw9974qvz84xikcsjc67f-network-manager-openvpn-1.8.0/lib/NetworkManager/VPN<= br>=C2=A0

I have opened a bug about this a while ago (OpenVPN and the (not yet= merged?)
VPNC plugins are affected. It's annoying prevents me from accessing my = university
intranet via VPN for some things from home.
Maybe it was just an email so far, I can not find a bug ticket for this.

If I can help = by providing any more logs or something I'd happy to do that.
