Presumably this software needs a more complete installation of NetworkManager.  I do not want NetworkManager installed, therefore I do not want to resolve this problem on this computer, however, the software installer should have informed me that additional resources were required.
Comment 1 Lewis Smith 2022-01-13 20:15:02 CET 
Thank you for the report.
I installed the same package, and confirm the reported errors.

Looking into it, doing:
 $ urpmq --requires eduvpn-client
shows all the given package list (and more), [ignoring as irrelevant gpg-pubkey in your list, which anyway does not seem to be a package].

No mention of NetworkManager. Nor any mention of eduvpn from NetworkManager.

Assigning to Guillaume for 'eduvpn-client'.

Summary: eduvpn-client in Mageia 8 appears to omit essential dependencies => eduvpn-client in Mageia 8 dependencies in doubt; is there a NetworkManager connection?

Comment 2 Guillaume Rousse 2022-01-15 13:53:14 CET 
There was indeed a missing dependency on networkmanager, I just fixed it in cauldron. Thanks for the report.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 3 Dave Hodgins 2022-01-16 00:29:07 CET 
Re-opening as the report is about the Mageia 8 package.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED

Resolution: FIXED => (none)

Comment 4 Guillaume Rousse 2022-01-18 20:31:02 CET 
This is not a security issue, and is trivial to fix on user side. Feel free to provide an update if you want, tough.
