> Critical

It's surprising that someone so experienced makes a rookie error like this [1]. Welcome to the back of the queue.

Note that ppp was in [core-testing] for nearly 3 months!

@Toolybird nah, i'm not experienced but just an archlinux lover. :)
the failure caused my remote server unable to boot, and i'll have to drive >100km to fix that. so i think the severity should be 'high' at least.

that means ppp need to be reverted back to 2.4.9?
