Whenever I try connecting to my university's VPN, the authentication fails. Running systemctl status NetworkManager gives me the message:

I went to /usr/lib/pppd and found 2 folders, 2.4.5 and 2.4.6. Should I recompile networkmanager-pptp and pptpclient?
The networkmanager, networkmanager-pptp and pppd-ldap-simple packages should probably be recompiled. extra/networkmanager 0.9.8.8-1 /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/nm-pppd-plugin.so extra/networkmanager-pptp 0.9.8.4-1 /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/nm-pptp-pppd-plugin.so community/pppd-ldap-simple 0.12b-6 /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/pppd_ldap_simple.so (Good thing that anyone actually uses testing/ppp to notice these problems.)
