The package network-manager-pptp in the current repository is still
based on the 0.6.x branch. This is incompatible with version network-
manager 0.7 that came with the recent upgrade (again, in the proposed
repository). The version of network-manager 0.7 now provided is a simple
backport from intrepid.

So the simplest way to fix this problem is to do a recompile in hardy
for the mini of the network-manager-pptp from source taken from intrepid
(a working deb is attached). This is simpler than the solution proposed
above, since it does not requires to install custom, not official
versions of network-manager from external repositories (it's only 1
deb).

(Coincidentally, the same solution was suggested to solve bug #357525,
to update network-manager-vpnc to the 0.7 branch)

Status in Dell Inspiron Mini with Custom Dell UI: New

Bug description:
In a recent upgrade (using the hardy-dell-mini-proposed source), the network-manager-pptp package was removed from my system due to a conflict with the new network-manager package.

Therefore, with the current state, use of PPTP VPN connections with network manager is not possible.

(it was, however, working prior to the update)
