So, I did *lots* of testing today. I installed Debian Jessie using
the netinst installation image, both the Beta 2 and a daily snapshot,
both i386 and amd64 and always just installed a minimal base system
using tasksel by just selecting "SSH server" and "Standard system
utilities" [1].
I then rebooted the freshly installed system which had no graphical
user interface installed whatsoever and logged in as the standard user.
Then became the root user (using sudo) and installed just 'plasma
desktop' and 'kdm':
apt-get install plasma-desktop kdm
After that finished, I rebooted the machine and it booted right
into kdm without any issues or error messages. Whatever I did,
I could *NOT* reproduce your problem - at all.
Thus, I conclude that you are either using broken installation
media or the Debian mirror you are using is broken. If that
still is not the case, please give me a step-by-step instruction
on how you installed your Debian system.
Thanks,
Adrian
