Comment 47 for bug 93413

I would only add that in order to prevent Update manager from ranting about upgrding vpnc after following advice in 26 , just dowload the deb (it can be found in /var/cache/apt/archives after install or reinstall, extract it using dpkg-deb -x int a Directory, extract its control files by dpkg-deb -e, put created directory called DEBIAN into Directory, alter (change version to omthing higher than is currently in ubuntu, the best is t oraise the last number by one, or ad a dot and then 1, I think) file called control in DEBIAN directory and build the package with dpkg-deb -b. Then install it. At least that worked for me.
