Bug Description

The VPN agent is a superset of the l3agent; but it should not depend on it.

I'm discussing this with the upstream developer to see how best to handle this.

At a minimum the vpnaas.filters file is missing - this might be causing problems.

Re-opening - l3 and vpn agents shared alot in common but must conflict with each other as the function overlaps.

---------------
neutron (1:2014.1~rc2-0ubuntu3) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Fix the Breaks/Replaces from the previous version, as they were
    accidentally added to the wrong package (and with the wrong versioning).

neutron (1:2014.1~rc2-0ubuntu2) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Ensure that VPN and L3 agents are not installed together (LP: #1303876):
    - d/control: Add Conflicts on neutron-l3-agent to neutron-vpn-agent,
      drop dependency from neutron-vpn-agent -> neutron-l3-agent.
    - d/neutron-{common,vpn-agent,l3-agent}.install: Move configuration and
      rootwrap filters to -common package for use by both agent types.
    - d/control: Add appropriate Breaks/Replaces for config file moves.
    - d/neutron-vpn-agent.upstart: Include fwaas_driver.ini on config file
      path inline with l3-agent configuration.
    - d/control: Align Depends of neutron-vpn-agent with neutron-l3-agent.

Unlike the l3 agent package the vpn agent package is lacking the /etc/init/neutron-l3-agent.conf file required to start the l3 agent.

Does the vpn agent provide a superset of functionality which means that if you're already running the vpn agent you don't need to separately run the l3 agent? Or is this a mistake which means this bug needs to be reopened?

That's correct - if you try to run both at the same time they end up
confusing each other.
