Re: Broken ppp/diald in unstable?
That was reported a million times before on this list, and it hence covered
in the new FAQ.
The error is neither with netstd/netbase, nor with diald or ppp. You have to
change the file /etc/nsswitch.conf from
networks: files dns
to
networks: files
and all will work just fine. Proof:
edd@miles:~> dpkg -l netstd netbase diald ppp
