Bug#365134: wrong paths to executables or executables in wrong places
Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.1-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hello,
The paths to, at least, the xdm and X executables are not set up
correctly.
Some init scripts or configuration files, including /etc/init.d/xdm or
/etc/X11/default-display-manager expect the xdm executable to be in
/usr/bin/X11/xdm while the package installs it in /usr/bin.
Moreover, the xdm executable (I think) looks for /usr/bin/X while X is
to be found, in debian testing, in /usr/X11R6/bin. The same problem
occurs for, at least, xrdb which is looked for in /usr/bin but to be
found in /usr/X11R6/bin.
I suppose this is due to the upgrade of Xorg in debian unstable reaching
testing.
Best regards,
olivier ponsini
