Re: Bug#648361: uninstallable on kfreebsd-amd64
Hi Robert
MPPE is needed for pptp to work with encryption. PPTP without
encryption may be useful in some very specific cases but most people
would be quite confused about not having it.
So I'll choose this solution until someone can confirm that MPPE works
as well.
Thanks for your patience with me. :-)
