ipsec auto --up is occasionally started to early

I think that there is a regression on this bug usng the last version 1.0.6

Julian, could you please be a bit more specific, eg. provide log entries from the connection information dialog ?

Hi... I have the same problem as Julian... here is my log...

P.S.: everything was working until version 1.0.4... then since 1.0.5 no more connections established!!!

I was also getting the messages:
whack: Pluto is not running (no "/var/run/pluto/pluto.ctl")
as José did.

In terminal I do
sudo ipsec pluto
thereafter those messages disappear. But attempting to connect other messages crop up in Connection Information, e.g.
