How to setup? (Used x 101 tries to get current version (-1/9) of the profile)

[wima75]

I imported a ovpn file. Then when I tap the profile name, I can see the following in the log:
Building configuration...
08:20 Used x 101 tries to get current version (-1/9) of the profile
08:20 Used x 101 tries to get current version (-1/10) of the profile

What is wrong here?
Thank you.

that should normally not happen, can you provide a bit more information for reproduction?

Before I forget. This issue is old and just "cosmetical". I have this on any phone since months, and this is come mostly with this other exception:

The app is working fine, just hang for a while after this message before it connects to the server. I was try to figured out which is the trigger, but I don't find a system to reproduce. I have 6 VPN-Profiles which trigger this sometimes, when I switch from a profile to another too fast. It also happening mostly when the app was killed manually or after reboot, but not always. In worst case how i said i reset the whole app and reimport it, this fix it for a while until it comes back mostly. Important is to put the app not in background and import the profiles fast as I can, otherwise the imported profiles are lost and have to import multiple times until it stays. Seems like it is connected to a commit in the past, i can try to isolate that specific commit by time. I just say the ProfileManager seems broken, but i know it is just cosmitical so it has no reason to be debugged and fixed, we have to life with that and it's okay because I know how to deal with that.

I have never seen that happen. So unless I can reproduce that, I cannot fix that.

@wima75
but is the App/VPN working like expected? For me in such cases it only helps to reset the whole App and reimport the VPN-Profile. With this error message the app on my side is still working properly.

[wima75]

I cannot reproduce the problem anymore. I have now a profile that works.

I confirm that there is a problem.
Android clients writes "Used x 101 tries to get current version (-1/6) of the profile" etc

Server on archlinux. Other client on linux is working good.
