Package: network-manager-pptp Version: 1.2.4-5+b1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I did a normal apt upgrade which updated network-manager-pptp, network-manager, ppp, and pptp-linux to the latest testing versions as of 24Feb2018. This caused my PPTP vpn connection to fail to connect because of authentication issues with the MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2 protocals.

Downgrading just pptp-linux was not effective so I also downgraded the following packages as well to get ppp to version 2.7.4-1+4: gir1.2-nma-1.0 libnma0 network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome ppp pptp-linux pptpd * What was the outcome of this action? After downgrading the packages, The PPTP base vpn connection is working. * What outcome did you expect instead? I would have expected that the upgrade would not have broken MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2 authenthication. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages network-manager-pptp depends on: ii libc6 2.26-6 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.3-2 ii libnm0 1.10.4-1+b1 ii network-manager 1.10.4-1 ii ppp 2.4.7-2+1 ii pptp-linux 1.9.0+ds-2 network-manager-pptp recommends no packages. network-manager-pptp suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
