[Bug 1310718] Re: package gdm 3.10.0.1-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
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 ++ '[' '!'

I've just encountered the same bug when trying to install lxdm: bash -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/lxdm.postinst + set -e + . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ++ '[' '!'
