Subject: pptpd-logwtmp.so does not work with ppp 2.4.4b1

Package: pptpd
Version: 1.2.1-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable
  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-rc4
Locale: LANG=en_IE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15)

Hello,

since ppp 2.4.4b1-1 hit unstable I can't get a connection to my pptp-server. Syslog shows

pppd[14307]: Plugin /usr/lib/pptpd/pptpd-logwtmp.so is for pppd version 2.4.3, this is 2.4.4b1

Rebuilding the package from source did not help. Downgrade to ppp 2.4.3-20050321+2 did ofcourse.

Best Regards
Kai

Okay, severity grave was perhaps a bit over the top. Now I had some mor
time to investigate I found out that just commenting out "logwtmp" in
the config-file is a work around.
Compliling pptpd from the upstream source is not helpfull as it
complains about having been build for pppd 2.4.1.
So in the end it looks more like a normal bug that should probably be
forwarded upstream.

Best Regards

Source: pptpd
Binary: bcrelay pptpd

Changed-By: Rene Mayrhofer <email address hidden>
Description:
 bcrelay - Broadcast relay daemon
 pptpd - PoPToP Point to Point Tunneling Server
Closes: 343150 347414
Changes:
 pptpd (1.2.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
   * Added watch file.
   * Manually updated the pppd headers for the logwtmp plugin again.
     This release should work with ppp 2.4.4b1 now, so depend on this version.
     Closes: #343150: pptpd-logwtmp.so does not work with ppp 2.4.4b1
   * Split off the bcrelay binary into its own package. pptpd now depends on
     it (it does not necessarily depend on bcrelay, but most people will want
     to use it and recommends are still handled rather poorly).
     Closes: #347414: pptpd: Splitting bcrelay as a separate package
   * Update dh_compat to level 4 now.
