Bug#367227: xdm does not start after last upgrade

[Marian Dubiel <marian-dubiel@gmx.de>]

Package: xdm
Version: 1.0.1-6

I'm using etch and had no problems with xdm before but since the last upgrade (didn't upgraded a while) xdm does not start any more. If I invoke /etc/init.d/xdm from commandline as root nothing happens (no output, no logfiles (/var/log/xmd.log , Xorg.0.log) written).
I made an `apt-get remove --purge xdm && apt-get install xdm` to be sure configuration files are reinstalled, but the problem still existed.
I tracked down the problem to the line:
DAEMON=/usr/bin/X11/xdm
in /etc/init.d/xdm
/usr/bin/X11/xdm does not exist in my debian installation. Instead of /usr/bin/X11/xdm I found that xdm is installed at /usr/bin/xdm
so I changed the above mentioned line in /etc/init.d/xdm to
DAEMON=/usr/bin/xdm
With that change /etc/init.d/xdm produced following output:
-------------------------------
$ /etc/init.d/xdm start
Starting X display manager: xdm
-------------------------------
But X does not start anyway. But I get a log entry in /var/log/xdm.log saying:
-------------------------------
Sun May 14 12:08:07 2006 xdm info (pid 5676): starting
Sun May 14 12:08:07 2006 xdm info (pid 5676): starting X server on :0
Sun May 14 12:08:07 2006 xdm error (pid 5678): server /usr/bin/X cannot be executed
-------------------------------
/usr/bin/X cannot be executed because /usr/bin/X does not exist in my installation. It shoud say /usr/X11R6/bin/X but I didn't found out, where to change that. I stopped my research at that point.

startx does work and the xorg Xserver starts normally.
