I downgraded for the moment, though thanks. Will the affected packages be recompiled in testing

This will be done shortly.

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.)

I've seen these issues but I didn't have enough time to come to a sane conclusion in order to report it. IIRC rp-pppoe in core has the same problem. pppd[27117]: Plugin /usr/lib/rp-pppoe/rp-pppoe.so is for pppd version 2.4.5, this is 2.4.6 Bug report at: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39007 -- Arthur Țițeică

pppd[27117]: Plugin /usr/lib/rp-pppoe/rp-pppoe.so is for pppd version 2.4.5, this is 2.4.6

Since that plugin is not even in the pppd plugin path, there is no way to detect this problem.

Besides rp-pppoe, pppd-ldap also needs a rebuild (the plugin is still for 2.4.4, so I wonder if a single person ever used it).

I also wonder why rp-pppoe is still in core. It provides no essential functionality that netctl+ppp don't.

I'm using an arch box as a firewall router. I have verizon fios connection that still uses pppoe. Recently the pppoe connection upload bandwidth went down to < 50kbps (normal is 25Mbps) but ok download bandwidth is still around 58Mbps. During boot pppd 2.4.6 is started and the message RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.8d compiled against pppd 2.4.6. Something is now broken and I don't know what it is. I switched over to using the fios router = works OK, switched over to a archlinuxarm on utilite - works OK, mostly. I built a new firewall router on another box with new network cards, and it has the same problem. Which leads me to conclude that something is wrong in the pppoe. The setup I use is close to the arch wiki on pppd, which use the rp-pppoe.so plugin. Can you explain how netctl+ppp can replace the rp-pppoe plugin. Thanks Wayne S
