Debian 2.1r2 (slink) (info taken from /var/lib/dpkg/available)
Package: ppp
Version: 2.3.5-2
Depends: libc6, netbase
Suggests: ppp-pam
Package: depends on:
xisp ppp (>=2.2.0f)
wvdial ppp (>=2.3.0)
pppconfig ppp (>=2.3)
pptp-linux ppp
ppp-pam ppp (=2.3.5-2)
pppupd ppp
masqdialer ppp (>=2.3)
diald ppp (>> 2.2)
These are for Debian 2.1. So, if you recompile ppp 2.3.5-2 on slink, it
won't break any dependencies, I guess - I haven't recompiled it.
I have no idea what ppp version and what packages that depends on it
are in Debian 2.2 (potato) - you have to ask potato users :)
