This message will be going out over a PPP link established using the
latest PPP and diald packages avalible to me:
ii ppp 2.3.9-1 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daemon.
ii diald 0.98.2-0.1 dial on demand daemon for PPP and SLIP.
which operated just fine before, during and after the install (last
night for ppp IIRC). What exactly is going wrong? Which kernel version
are you using (I've got 2.2.10 here)? Do things like telling diald to
bring the link up manually achieve anything?

Not that I'm aware of. Use "dpkg -i <packagefile>" instead.
If you haven't been running "apt-get clean" much you may still have a
previous version of pppd kicking around in /var/cache/apt/archives.
