Package: xdm Version: 1:1.0.5-1 Severity: normal Tags: d-i I'd like to include xdm in the xfce task, but I can't since it fails as follows:
Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing. cat: /var/run/xdm.pid: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing xdm (--configure); subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 This is due to the following code: # Don't start the daemon if it's already running... if start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --signal 0 --pid /var/run/xdm.pid \ --name $(basename $DAEMON) ; then # Note our refusal to start the daemon if we were supposed to start it. [ -n "$NOSTART" ] || DENYSTART=yes DENIAL_REASON="xdm is already running at pid $(cat /var/run/xdm.pid)" The fake start-stop-daemon that d-i uses, like the one debootstrap uses, always returns true, so this test doesn't work. (This could be considered a bug in debian-installer-utils..) It seems to me that the easiest fix for this is to not check for a running xdm if xdm is being freshly installed ($1 = install, $2 = ""). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xdm depends on: ii cdebconf [debconf-2.0] 0.112 Debian Configuration Management Sy ii cpp 4:4.1.1-15 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 1.32-3 SELinux shared libraries ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxaw7 1:1.0.2-4 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxdmcp6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxmu6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.5-2 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii x11-common 1:7.1.0-10 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii xbase-clients 1:7.1.ds1-2 miscellaneous X clients xdm recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- see shy jo
