Package: openvpn
Version: 2.6.0~git20220518+dco-1devuan1
Severity: normal

Hey,

tried to install openvpn and got the following message during installation : 

Selecting previously unselected package openvpn.
Preparing to unpack .../openvpn_2.6.0~git20220518+dco-1devuan1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking openvpn (2.6.0~git20220518+dco-1devuan1) ...
Installing openvpn (2.6.0~git20220518+dco-1devuan1) ...
Fatal! 2. Unable to understand action preset. Aborted.
/usr/bin/deb-systemd-helper: error: systemctl preset failed on openvpn.service: No such file or directory

openvpn seems to install ok and vpn connection works as expected afaik, no issues seen. just this installation error.

thanks,
d.
