Hi,

I had to downgrade because my L2TP VPN connection stopped working. Output from journalctl:

-----
Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.7/nm-l2tp-pppd-plugin.so is for pppd version 2.4.7, this is 2.4.8
-----

Downgrading both ppp to 2.4.7 and networkmanager-pptp to 1.2.8-2 solved this issue for me. Sorry in advance if this isn't the correct channel to report these kinds of problems -- I'm kind of new here.

Thanks,


Max

If you rebuild https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/networkmanager-l2tp/ the issue should be fixed, it's not the fault of ppp or networkmanager, but rather the fact that AUR packages get less testing and take a bit longer to catch up.

@lipnitsk Thank you, I can confirm the issue is solved with the current release. Cheers!

@lipnitsk looks like networkmanager-l2tp has been moved from AUR to here: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/networkmanager-l2tp/
