Package: src:connman Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I am the maintainer of ppp and am planning an upload of a new version of ppp which breaks the pppd plugin ABI. The new version is currently in experimental, and connman builds fine against this new version, but the ppp plugin included in the connman-vpn package in buster and sid will most likely crash pppd when it is loaded within it. To avoid such issues in future I have devised a mechanism whereby package that build pppd plugins can have appropriate dependencies inserted. My dh_ppp helper dynamically creates either Depends or Breaks relationships for such packages. I believe the most appropriate relationship for connman-vpn is a Breaks one. I have prepared a patch for this issue which I will attach to this bug once it is submitted and I have a bug number to add to the changelog. Best regards, Chris
