Package: gdm3
Version: 3.10.0.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Hi, after installing this latest version of gdm3, the greeter
failed to display anything, so login wasn't possible. Inspection
of the logs showed some error messages about failing to connect
to systemd-logind. I therefore switched my init to systemd by
installing systemd-sysv, which conflicts with sysvinit.
If using systemd as init is a requirement, then this package needs
to add a conflicts: sysvinit or something, I would think.
