In the course of getting vpnc-plugin fixed with EPEL it probably makes sense to as well update the vpnc-package itself.
From what I've seen svn469 is needed as minimum to be able to setup a tunnel to a FritzBox - which I guess is one of the common scenarios.
Currently available with EPEL 7 is svn457.
I've tested that scenario to be working with svn550.

"vpnc" and "NetworkManager-vpnc" are two different package, albeit related.
Please open a separate bug for this request. Thank you.
