Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

when trying to connect to my usual VPN using network-manager-pptp today, it failed connecting. Looking at syslog, I saw this:

Sep 17 12:26:10 kaname pppd[10383]: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net. See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.

Trying the modprobe:
root@kaname:~# modprobe -v ppp
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.22-10-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory
