Oups forgot something important. Actually you should start a new root login
session when reconfigurating the package, otherwise you might think that
nothing changes :)

(i.e. logout, then login)

For some reason there is no 'dip' group in your system. Add an entry by
appending the line 'dip:*:30:' to '/etc/group'.

Make sure that group id 30 is not used by other group (search for ':30:' in
the file) in such case change it to any non used group id number you like.

Once this is done, you can safely reconfigure the ppp package.

As root execute:

dpkg --configure ppp

ppp install problem

1996-12-23 Thread Lawrence Chim
I have problem to upgrade PPP and it seems that it is a chown problem.
Any helps?

Preparing to replace ppp 2.2.0f-2 (using ppp_2.2.0f-19.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement ppp ...
Setting up ppp (2.2.0f-19) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/ppp ...

Configuration file `/etc/ppp/pap-secrets'
 ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
 ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
  Z : background this process to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** pap-secrets (Y/I/N/O/Z) [default=N] ? Y
