Justification: renders package unusable
Updated - and xdm throws an error about configuring kdm. This
prevents xdm from completing, and so x-window-system will not
complete either. This (at present) means that I have no X running :-(
Here's the output of the upgrade:
===============================
Setting up xdm (4.2.1-6) ...
Please be sure to run "dpkg --configure kdm".
dpkg: error processing xdm (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of x-window-system:
x-window-system depends on xdm; however:
Package xdm is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing x-window-system (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
xdm
x-window-system
