Turned out to be a typo in > /etc/group. My /etc/group doesn't have anything remotely resembling root.dip. I tried installing diald (because of your comment) and it installed without complaint and the group still doesn't exist. Oh well, I'll just addgroup it blindly with a random GID. [switches windows] OOPs, "addgroup" only accepts letters and numbers, "root.dip" is invalid. So I edited /etc/group as follows: operator:*:37: root.dip:*:39: src:*:40: and dselect still gives: Setting up ppp (2.2.0f-19) ... chown: root.dip: invalid group Looks like I'm in over my head again.
