Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

After upgrading from karmic to lucid, configuring or connecting to PPTP
VPN servers using the network manager applet fails with:

There was a problem launching the authentication dialog for VPN
connection type 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp'. Contact your
system administrator.

I guess this is because the ui components have been moved into network-
manager-pptp-gnome, and installing that package fixes the problem,
however it should really be handled during the upgrade
