As I mentioned, I had to roll back the changes, anyway to clarify:
1. Installed pptp packages on new dell mini 12 and connection to MS vpn works
fine.
2. Recent software updates removes network-manager-pptp.
3. Install:
network-manager-pptp_0.7~~svn20081015t024626-0ubuntu1.8.04.1~hardy1_lpia.deb
from above. It does not work. Does not accept my old vpn configuration.
New configuration(s) do not work either - "connection failed".
4. Revert back the packages to an older version (results in uninstalling a
couple of programs, which have to re-installed as older version as well, and in
right order). Now, my old vpn configuration works fine as before. No more
errors.
Current packages (vpn working):
pptp-linux 1.7.0-2ubuntu2
network-manager-pptp 0.6.5+svnhead2574-0ubuntu1
network-manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu5
network-manager-gnome 0.6.6-0ubuntu3.1
libnm-util0 0.6.6-0ubuntu5
Thanks.

Status in Dell Inspiron Mini with Custom Dell UI: Confirmed
Bug description:
In a recent upgrade (using the hardy-dell-mini-proposed source), the
network-manager-pptp package was removed from my system due to a conflict with
the new network-manager package.
Therefore, with the current state, use of PPTP VPN connections with network
manager is not possible.
(it was, however, working prior to the update)
