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.)
