Bug Description
Using LMDE XFCE 201104 i386. Created new PPPoE connection, trying to connect and getting error. The log says:
Mar 25 20:22:30 mint pppd[2887]: Plugin /usr/lib/
Mar 25 20:22:30 mint NetworkManager[
Versions mismatch make it fail any time whatever options you use.
Ubuntu-based distros work well with PPPoE.

Why did you mark bug as Invalid? Here are versions:
mint@mint ~ $ apt-cache show ppp

Version: 2.4.5-4
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7), libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1), libpcap0.8 (>= 0.9.8), libpam-modules, libpam-runtime, procps

mint@mint ~ $ apt-cache show network-
Package: network-

See for yourself. ppp version is 2.4.4, nm-pptp requires ppp >= 2.4.5, and network-manager packages are thus broken.
It is a live session of linuxmint-

I've copied wrong data about ppp.
There is one optional package, with version 2.4.5. It is not installed. The one that is installed is this:
Package: ppp

Thanks. You simply have the wrong version of ppp, or the wrong ISO?
The correct filename for the ISO should be: linuxmint-
It's MD5 is: 308e3aa7a0f9763
It comes with ppp version 2.4.5-5

I have this exact ISO with this exact hash. And it holds ppp 2.4.4. As I said, dpkg somehow knows about 2.4.5 package, but it is not installed.

Hi TiGR, can you paste the content of the following commands:
"apt version ppp"
"apt show ppp"
"apt search ppp"
"cat /etc/linuxmint/
TiGR: Can you confirm the versions of ppp and network- manager- pptp installed on your system?
