/usr/bin/pppd is linked to /libevent-2.0.so.5, but libevent is updated to version 2.1, with only libevent-2.1.so.6 available now, so pppd will no start.
I think that's why a lot of ppp based VPN packages (pptp etc.) are not working now.
A temporary solution is to create a soft link now, remove it if fixed in the future.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libevent-2.1.so.6 /usr/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5
A better solution is to rebuild the official package with the new version libevent.
And why isn't libevent a dependency of ppp while pppd requires it to execute?
Update :
Sorry, my bad. It is sstp-client that requires libevent, not ppp, rebuild sstp-client from AUR solves the problem.
