Bug Description
Binary package hint: pptpd
I tried building the pptpd-1.3.4 package from source to debug the crashing behaviour it shows, however, I found that 'make install' put the executables in the wrong location.
Line 175 of the Makefile had 'prefix = /usr/local' but the Ubuntu location is just /usr (so /usr/sbin has the executables, etc).
Editing the make file to fix it was easy enough, but I don't understand the generation of the Makefile via the ./configure step well enough to suggest a safe patch.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04

This is not a bug in the pptpd package. Debian/Ubuntu source packages are not supposed to work with "make install" but with "debuild" and the debian/ subdirectory. Please see https:/
