Re: Version mismatch between ppp and network manager in Debian testing

[Clement Lefebvre <debian@linuxmint.com>]

 Thanks. I'm a bit puzzled with this bug report... network-manager 
provides /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/nm-pppd-plugin.so, and the version of ppp 
installed is indeed 2.4.5. The path seems correct, the packaging seems 
correct as well. It's as if the .so file itself was the wrong one. Could 
it be that it was built against 2.4.4?

Then again, these packages were accepted into Testing in February. An 
issue like this would surely have been reported by now. It's probably 
specific to the system of the bug reporter, or it could also be specific 
to LMDE Xfce. We'll try to reproduce the issue and I'll get back to you 
if there's an impact on Debian.

Thanks Raphael and Paul for your help on this and your quick answers.
