Binary package hint: network-manager

I'm using intrepid beta.
I'm using a rather unique internet connection method, used only in Russia and Israel IIRC. I have a cable connection but I'm not connected to the internet all the time. On Windows have to use some kind of dialer, which actually makes a VPN connection. On Ubuntu I use the network manager to connect to the ISP VPN, after installing the packages pptp-linux and network-manager-pptp (I know very little about networks, I hope this description is informative enough and actually relevant :)
I updated my system this morning and after rebooting (there was also a kernel update) I can't connect to the VPN. I immediately get an error message that says something like "unable to find valid VPN secrets".
I'm posting this from windows so I can't check the exact error message of the version number of the package.
