[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#517208: network-manager-pptp: Crashes when adding a new VPN connection

[James Healy]

Package: network-manager-pptp
Version: 0.7.0.97-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi,

Since upgrading the set of network-manager packages this morning to 0.7,
I can no longer add or manage PPTP VPNs.

When I attempt to run nm-connection-editor from the command line, it
segfaults when I click on the "Add" button of the VPN tab.

[jh at gaz ~]$ nm-connection-editor 
[WARN 17637] polkit-error.c:143:polkit_error_get_error_message(): error != NULL
 Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

 ** (nm-connection-editor:17637): WARNING **: Failed to initialize PolicyKit context: (null)
 [WARN 17637] polkit-error.c:156:polkit_error_free(): error != NULL Not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
  Segmentation fault
