Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.3.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
There is crappage in /etc/init.d/kdm that causes that script to exit
without an error message. The lines in question 58 & 59:
# get the server text into the cache
wc -l /usr/bin/X11/XFree86 > /dev/null 2>&1
Which is bollocks since the file above is a wrapper on Debian. Even if
it wasn't it would not get any modules into "the cache", and anyway, if
there is something wrong with the way the OS starts programs that bug
should be fixed there. Redirecting errors to /dev/null is also bad when
"set -e" is in operation since any error messages will be supressed but
the shell will still exit.
Please take those lines outside and shoot them.
