I don't know the fix, either. But this is what I get for beta-testing
anything: doesn't work for me! :-) I'm pondering getting the pppoe .deb
and extracting the binary, but I don't know enough about how how .debs
are packaged in the first place. Oddly, I can't seem to find
documentation about this. I'm also told by the Debian people that libc6,
which pppoe depends on, isn't the full version in the boot floppies, so
pppoe might not work in any case.

Does anyone have, or can anyone point me to, documentation on how a .deb
is built? I've looked all over debian's site, and haven't found
anything.

Thanks!
