pptp connection broken after karmic->lucid upgrade

[Darren Worrall]

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

After upgrading from karmic to lucid, configuring or connecting to PPTP VPN servers using the network manager applet fails with:

There was a problem launching the authentication dialog for VPN connection type 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp'. Contact your system administrator.

I guess this is because the ui components have been moved into network-manager-pptp-gnome, and installing that package fixes the problem, however it should really be handled during the upgrade

network-manager-pptp:
  Installed: 0.8-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.8-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.8-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
network-manager-pptp-gnome:
  Installed: 0.8-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.8-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.8-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid/universe Packages

Marked bug 534218 as a duplicate of this one: network-manager-pptp and network-manager-pptp-gnome dependencies and suggests/recommends need to be adjusted to provide a seemless upgrade from Karmic to Lucid.

Marking this bug as a duplicate of bug 516854, since it's already targetted for lucid beta-2.
