Indeed, there is a missing dependency here, I have talked with Simon
shapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> the new kernel maintainer about it. When
he releases new kernel packages then there will be a "virtual package"
called ppp-2.2??? or some such that will be provided by the kernel
packages and required by the ppp package.
As things currently stand:
ppp-2.2-1 (a.out) was based on the upstream package ppp-2.2.0b
ppp-2.2-2 (elf) was based on the upstream package ppp-2.2.0c
I believe the particular problem you are seeing is because the ppp.o
module installed on your system is for ppp-2.1.??? ppp packages.
Bruce, before he handed on the kernel packages, upgraded the ppp.c
code for use with ppp-2.2.???.
Thus you should upgrade your kernel package (src or binary) to revision
7 or greater.
There is a minor problem with this "virtual package" idea if you dont
get your kernel as a debian package. You will therefor not have any
package providing the "virtual package" and so you will only be able
to install the ppp package by forcing its dependencies.
I am sure that anyone you pulls down the very latest kernels and
"rolls his own" will be quite able to do this.
