Bug Description

Binary package hint: pptp-linux

a method Check_MPPE_in_pppd was added to pptpsetup in pptp-linux_1.7.2-1.patch to check if the pppd program contains MPPE support.

It uses the program strings that is in the package binutils to check if MPPE is supported, thus pptp-linux depends on binutils. Otherwise pptpsetup reports the following error "/usr/sbin/pptpsetup: couldn't find MPPE support in pppd."

Until the above dependency gets resolved or fixed just install binutils("sudo aptitude install binutils") to use pptpsetup.

Regards,
