Title:
  vpn fails to connect when server requires only 128 bit encryption

Status in network-manager-pptp package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in network-manager-pptp source package in Lucid:
  Won't Fix
Status in network-manager-pptp source package in Karmic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

  Everything worked fine in 8.10 and before. In 9.04 it fails. The
  server (U of Illinois) I connect to wants you to set 128 bit
  encryption and disable the 40 bit. I worked around the problem by
  replacing the gconf file,
  ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/1/connection/%gconf.xml with a
  similar one from another machine (This other machine worked fine after
  the upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04). It seems the problem appears only when
  you edit the vpn-connection using 9.04. The difference between the two
  files is an extra line that seems partially redundant.

  configured in 9.04 (does not work):
  ... <entry name="require-mppe-128" mtime="1241379158" type="string"> ...
  ... <entry name="require-mppe" mtime="1241379158" type="string"> ...

  configured in 8.10 (works in 9.04):
  ... <entry name="require-mppe-128" mtime="1241379158" type="string"> ...

  Regarrds.
