Package: pppstatus

*** /tmp/tmpkPUR29
In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:
this package failed to build from source in Ubuntu Oneiric, with GCC-4.6. This
package changes
linking parameters in the Makefile to avoid that problem. The order of
libraries parameters
passed to the linker makes the build fails.
Though it builds ok in Debian, this change is necessary for Ubuntu in order to
build correctly
on both distributions, and simplifying maintenance of this package by avoiding
to carry
unnecessary patches between Debian and Ubuntu.
Following is a fragment of the build error:
