Package: gdm3
Version: 3.38.2.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear colleagues,
Please consider adjusting the gdm3 dependencies to support libpam-elogind as
well as libpam-systemd via the logind and default-logind virtual packages.
I think I remember it being said (although I cannot now find the reference,
apologies if I have misremembered) that gdm3 might require systemd --user and
therefore note work with elogind. However, as far as I can see, operation
without systemd --user is supported and the gdm3 changelog only mentions a
requirement for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR which elogind provides.
To confirm this, I have tested gdm3 with libpam-elogind and can find no
breakage.
I would appreciate you considering the attached patch for the bookworm cycle.
Many thanks.
Mark
