I can confirm this bug. It actually broke my dist-upgrade from 12.04 to
14.04. I fixed it manually by deleting the broken script and removing
gdm.
I tried to reinstall gdm today but the package is still broken, i. e.
the post-install script is broken. Executing it manually with
bash -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdm.postinst
results in:
+ set -e
+ . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
++ '[' '!' '' ']'
++ PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1
++ export PERL_DL_NONLAZY
++ '[' '' ']'
++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdm.postinst
Use of uninitialized value $action in string eq at /usr/share/debconf/frontend
line 27.
