Bug#648361: uninstallable on kfreebsd-amd64
Hi Robert Yes it could be possible to use it to create a ppp tunnel over ethernet but it won't be encrypted which is the main purpose of the package. // Ola On Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 08:51:47PM +0100, Robert Millan wrote: El 19 de març de 2012 21:30, Ola Lundqvist o...@debian.org ha escrit: Hi After some research I have found out the following thing from a forum http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-June/090529.html http://www.mreriksson.net/howtos/netbsd-pptp-client/ which discusses how to set up pptpclient on NetBSD and there he mentioned about installing the PPPD-MPPE package which I did't do in my FreeBSD box since I failed to find the said pacakge in /usr/ports.

Bug#648361: uninstallable on kfreebsd-amd64
Hi Robert MPPE is needed for pptp to work with encryption. PPTP without encryption may be useful in some very specific cases but most people would be quite confused about not having it. So I'll choose this solution until someone can confirm that MPPE works as well. Thanks for your patience with me. :-) // Ola On Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 08:51:47PM +0100, Robert Millan wrote: El 19 de març de 2012 21:30, Ola Lundqvist o...@debian.org ha escrit: Hi After some research I have found out the following thing from a forum http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-June/090529.html http://www.mreriksson.net/howtos/netbsd-pptp-client/ which discusses how to set up pptpclient on NetBSD and there he mentioned about installing the PPPD-MPPE package which I did't do in my FreeBSD box since I failed to find the said pacakge in /usr/ports.

Hi Robert
Have you tested to install this package and actually seen that it
works in practice? The reason I ask is that as far as I know this
tool depends on the mppe support in the Linux kernel. I may be
wrong however.
I do not want to apply this until I have it confirmed that it actually
works to have a fully working mppe tunnel.
Best regards,
// Ola

Hi,
This package is uninstallable on kfreebsd-amd64 because of its dependency on
ppp. On Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, equivalent (but not CLI-compatible)
functionality
is provided by freebsd-ppp package. It appears that pptp-linux includes
support for this alternate interface.
Attached patch should fix the dependency problem and enable interaction with
freebsd-ppp in upstream source. It is loosely based on this patch [1] from
the FreeBSD ports collection.
