Commit 8fc3a337ab420dc9f80472ce057eae603fc892d3, the update of
network-manager-applet to 1.8.24, broke network-manager-openvpn:

checking for LIBNM_GTK... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libnm-gtk >= 1.7.0) were not met:

No package 'libnm-gtk' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBNM_GTK_CFLAGS
and LIBNM_GTK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I already verified that updating network-manager-openvpn to the latest
release (1.8.10) does not fix this issue.
