This is a bug, had been asked at least more than 20 times in 2 days
since this ppp appeared in the up2date repository. I guess just have to
wait until it is fixed and put into the repository, if any other updates
avilalbe, you can use the method as below;
"Same answer I'm giving to everyone else: It's a know bug. Has been
fixed and a fix is in CVS. Meanwhile , use yum --exclude=initscripts
--exclude=ppp --exclude=pppd upgrade to update your system , while the
corrected package isnt available. -- Pedro Macedo"
