Package: kdm Version: 4:3.1.4-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I just tried to upgrade my system today and noticed that upgrading kdm failed. I then manually set DEBCONF_DEBUG and ran apt-get install kdm. This produced the following transcript: [salem:~]-2> export DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer [salem:~]-3> np-apt-get install kdm Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done kdm is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used. Setting up kdm (3.1.4-1) ... debconf (developer): frontend started debconf (developer): frontend running, package name is kdm debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/kdm.config configure 4:3.1.3-1 debconf (developer): <-- METAGET shared/default-x-display-manager owners debconf (developer): --> 0 kdm, xdm debconf (developer): <-- METAGET shared/default-x-display-manager choices debconf (developer): --> 0 kdm, xdm debconf (developer): <-- INPUT high shared/default-x-display-manager debconf (developer): --> 30 question skipped dpkg: error processing kdm (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 30 Errors were encountered while processing: kdm E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) zsh: exit 100 So as you can see, the postinst fails and apt-get/dpkg won't upgrade kdm. Please take a look at this issue.
