#50655: openvpn2 @2.3.8_0 Unable to launch

Component:  ports     |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:            |       Port:
----------------------+--------------------------------
 I initially do and see the following:

 {{{
 $ cd /Library/LaunchDaemons
 $ sudo launchctl load -w org.macports.openvpn2.plist
 $ tail -f /var/log/system.log
 Feb 17 10:51:17 xxx com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (org.macports.openvpn2): The
 Debug key is no longer respected. Please remove it.

 service is defined to be constantly running and is inherently inefficient.

 ...
 }}}

 This fails to launch openvpn2.

 Next I try the following:

 {{{
 $ sudo launchctl unload -w org.macports.openvpn2.plist
 $ cat org.macports.openvpn2.plist
 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
 <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd" >
 <plist version='1.0'>
 <dict>
 <key>Label</key><string>org.macports.openvpn2</string>
 <key>ProgramArguments</key>
 <array>
         <string>/opt/local/bin/daemondo</string>
         <string>--label=openvpn2</string>
         <string>--start-cmd</string>
         <string>/opt/local/sbin/openvpn2 --config
 /opt/local/etc/openvpn2/server.conf</string>
         <string>;</string>
         <string>--pid=exec</string>
 </array>
 <key>Debug</key><false/>
 <key>Disabled</key><true/>
 <key>KeepAlive</key><true/>
 </dict>
 </plist>
 $ sudo /opt/local/sbin/openvpn2 --config
 /opt/local/etc/openvpn2/server.conf
 }}}

 This launches openvpn2 and I am able to connect with an openvpn2 client.

 Next I try the following:

 {{{
 $ sudo sh -c "cat > org.macports.openvpn2.test.plist" << END
 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
 <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd" >
 <plist version='1.0'>
 <dict>
 <key>Label</key><string>org.macports.openvpn2</string>
 <key>ProgramArguments</key>
 <array>
         <string>/opt/local/sbin/openvpn2</string>
         <string>--config</string>
         <string>/opt/local/etc/openvpn2/server.conf</string>
 </array>
 <key>RunAtLoad</key>
 <true/>
 </dict>
 </plist>
 END
 $ sudo launchctl load -w org.macports.openvpn2.test.plist
 }}}

 This also launches openvpn2 and I am able to connect with an openvpn2
 client.

 So...  I can launch openvpn2 from the command line using the very same
 arguments that daemondo uses to start openvpn2.  I can launch openvpn2 via
 daemondo from the command line using the very same arguments that the
 launchd.plist file uses to launch daemondo.  I can create a launch.plist
 file that launches openvpn2 directly.  But the launchd.plist file that
 comes with the openvpn2 port that uses daemondo to launch openvpn2 is not
 working.

 This is all on a freshly [within the last 24 hours] installed [not
 upgraded] OS X [not OS X Server] 10.11 El Capitan system.  On of our two
 OS X [Server] 10.8 Mountain Lion systems the same launchd.plist file
 launches daemondo/openvpn2 without issue.  I have no experience with
 Mavericks or Yosemite as we are moving from Mountain Lion directly to El
 Capitan.

 I did not find anything at macports.org or via Google that might help me
 with this.

 Any light a that can be shed on this would be appreciated.
