But, the first problem still exists, so it can only be run from the command line. *Below added by Jonathan Thomas* Stable Release Update (SRU) infos: -Impact: Renders KPPP useless for most people -Addressed by: This bug has been addressed by fixing debian/rules so that permissions are correctly set -Testcase: Launch KPPP from the menu, configure stuff. Close KPPP. Open KPPP and see if things work. -Patch/regression potential: Little. This is a tiny fix for an obvious problem that has been incorporated in Debian. ####################################################################### kppp on kde 4.2 in jaunty does not work due to 2 problems.
