Package: xdm Version: 4.3.0-2 Severity: important Tags: sid Hello.
There's a typo on the 644th line of /var/lib/dpkg/info/xdm.config - the end-of-line character is unescaped, which makes xdm (and, thus, x-window-system) uncofigurable by apt-get. Adding a backslash as the last character on that line fixes the problem.
