Hi Joe,
There appears to be a known bug in 8.10 pptp:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-pptp/+bug/259168
The link describes the ways the Ubuntu community is getting around this change
in Network-Manager.
Many just layer over the .6 source (which is a regression), while setting locks
package management, until the issues are addressed in the development tree.
That would certainly be my solution, as an experienced C source builder and
package admin.
The instructions are there in the links, and you want to backup completely the
original source in case something gets schnerbed.
