[Bug 46685] Re: wvdial upgrade causes system crash with ltmodem

[wilderness wanderer]

mstuehrenberg,

   What worked for me as a temporary work-around is to remove wvdial
with Synaptic (and let it mark ubuntu-desktop which depends on it), then
reboot selecting the 386 kernel in the Grub menu and reinstall ubuntu-
desktop (also marking wvdial).  It then went through its configuration
without crashing.  I then  switched back to the 686 kernel and further
updates have applied without problem.
