Update depends on for ubuntu to openvpn3-client

[rubenvw-ngdata]

The package that is installed has been renamved from openvpn3 to openvpn3-client for ubuntu with v 25.04

Could you switch to using the new openvpn3-client?

Currently I'm getting errors like

I am using openvpn3-client for ubuntu 25.10

For 25.04 they still provided a transitional package, but for 25.10 that is no longer foreseen:

But the tool itself is still failing:

openvpn3-indicator -v
CRITICAL:root:OpenVPN Indicator requires OpenVPN3 python library to run. Please install OpenVPN3.

I tried to work around this, but was unable to find a working solution. The python library is no longer bundled with the apt installation, and I was unable to build it locally.

This dialog means, that the following code has failed:

import openvpn3

It seems that you have installed openvpn3, openvpn3-client, and openvpn3-indicator.
Everything should be fine.
Can you please run:

ls /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openvpn3/

Thx for pointing me in the right direction. I had some trouble with my python venv configuration, which I corrected fixing this.
I still think the issue stands, but than solely in the apt installation of openvpn3-indicator, which should not depend on openvpn3 but just depend on openvpn3-client.
