Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
Failure reported during dpkg configuration of gdm: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit... I get the same error if I, for example, run sudo gconftool --get /system/http_proxy/port from a console - so it appears to be some sort of permissions issue when I run as root. However, if I ssh in to the laptop and then run sudo dpkg it works OK.
