sudo gedit 00list remove the line 06_stolen_from_head cd ../.. sudo debian/rules binary cd .. sudo apt-get remove vpnc sudo dpkg -i vpnc_0.4.0-2ubuntu1_i386.deb if you had installed network-manager-vpnc you'll have to reinstall it be careful when upgrading the system, don't update vpnc or you will get the patched version -- vpnc dead peer detection disconnects immediately https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/93413 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
