It seems that libglade0 is now deprecated and replaced with libglade2-0 but php-gtk-pcntl still depends on it. This is just a Debian issue.

me too.
It looks like nobody wants to fix this in Ubuntu. Networkmanager too doesn’t work properly.

Same problem as Johan and Ezgi.

pptpconfig wants php-gtk-pcntl.

php-gtk-pcntl: Depends: libglade0 but it is not installable
Depends: libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0) but it is not installable
Depends: libxml1 (>= 1:1.8.14-3) but it is not installable

I have tried this in ubuntu 8.10, but it comes up with dependency problems, with gtk files and glade. How do I get these dependencies, in order for it to work? I have tried the pptp plugin for network manager, but it just isn’t getting me connected to my universities VPN. Thanks, Johan.

I think you’re missing the quite large difference between a VPN connection and an INTERNET connection.
You’re never going to be able to use your VPN back to if you don’t have an internet connection anyway…

So firstly, setup your actual internet connection on the computer THEN you want to download the pptp files and install. VPN != Internet connection. PPTP != PPPoE

same problem, how to download this and the on dependeced packages without internet. I wrote this on my old windows comp which makes the connection to my provider possible, with a lot of effort changing between them, replugging the ethernet- and monitorcable. But the same shit in all the manuals!

This must be a joke! How do you run apt-get BEFORE having a network connection over your ADSL modem???
