OK. So after looking at the start-stop-daemon man page and looking at --oknodo, it appears that what may be going on is that you don't have xl2tpd running at the time of upgrade. Is this the case? That is how I was able to replicate the problem on my system: miami:~# dchroot I: [sid chroot] Running login shell: ‘/bin/bash’ miami:~# ls xl2tpd_1.1.11.dfsg.1-2_i386.deb miami:~# aptitude install ppp Reading package lists...
