I had the problem a while back where PPM suddenly stopped working at home, but still worked fine from work. I went through most of the steps you did, and got it back working again. I wrote to Activestate.com about this and the explanation was that the configuration in the XML file that came with the version I was using at home pointed to a repository that no longer existed. He gave me the fix to edit the XML file, however, i was already past this point at this time. The explanation for the rest of your problems is that the newer version of PPM which I (and apparently you) installed while fixing this is dependent on the newer version of the soap-lite module which you discovered and installed. But yes, it has been a problem to others.
