I think this is a bug in dpkg. When you answer "n" to that question about stopping xfs and xdm, the xbase preinst exits with a status of 1. There's really not much more the shell script can do. It's up to dpkg to interpret that as a failure and not go ahead with the package install (which it obviously did, as the message about methods of starting X is in xbase's postinst script).
I am reassigning this bug to dpkg. -- G. Branden Robinson | We either learn from history or, Purdue University | uh, well, something bad will happen. [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- Bob Church http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~branden/ |
