Hi,
ppp fails to build on kfreebsd-amd64 with the following error:
[...]
./configure --prefix=/usr
Support for GNU/kFreeBSD has not been included
in this distribution. Sorry.
Note that although ppp is in principle a portable program, and it has had
support for FreeBSD in the past, this is no longer the case. Starting
with FreeBSD 8.0, line discipline support was removed, and as a result
ppp is no longer portable to FreeBSD or GNU/kFreeBSD.
Thus with 8.0 release, upstream removed ppp from its source tree, and adjusted
their port [1] so that it's only buildable on pre-8.0 versions of FreeBSD.
Instead they opted to use their own version of ppp, which is now available in
Debian as "freebsd-ppp" package.
Taking this situation into account, please consider marking "ppp" as
Linux-specific by setting its Architecture to linux-any.
