Package: xinit
Version: 1.4.0-1
Severity: minor
/usr/bin/startx contains this around line 198:
for displayname in $authdisplay $hostname$authdisplay; do
authcookie=`xauth list "$displayname" \
| sed -n "s/.*$displayname[[:space:]*].*[[:space:]*]//p"` 2>/dev/null;
[…]
dummy=$(($dummy+1));
xauth -q -f "$xserverauthfile" << EOF
add :$dummy . $authcookie
EOF
This clearly assumes that $authcookie is only one.
However, on my system I somehow get two (the same but,
nevertheless, two), leading to xauth throwing a syntax
error upon running startx.
