Package: kdm
Version: 4:4.8.4-6
Severity: grave
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
As per request of maintainer, submitting new bug here. Note that this is being
done from the live DVD.
Made new 64bit install from this DVD. I have complaints about how the
partitions were set up but this is irrelevant to kdm.
At first, the system worked perfectly. Then I attempted to upgrade to Sid. As
kde packages were being held, I did not upgrade any of these. However, some
upgrade rendered kde inoperative. Whenever a login is attempted from kdm, the
pane simply blinks and new login offered. The kdm.log complains: "unable to
access dbus session ..."
Thinking I needed kde/kdm upgrades as well, succeeded in doing this. So now
4.4.11-* like I had on my previous 32-bit Sid. Problem persists.
First suspicion: No space left on /var. Culprit is not runaway mail files or
logs--it is the apt cache. Cleaned that, 55% free. However, the problem
persists.
Information below refers to the live DVD. Some of this was upgraded to Sid,
triggering the problem.

kdm was last released with Debian 8 (jessie) in April 2015
and was removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by sddm.
See https://bugs.debian.org/803635 for details on the removal.
I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
