Bug#319521: base-config: display-manager started too early



Package: base-config
Version: 2.65
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***
After a new installation at medium priority in vmware (using
daily netinst 2005-07-21) with desktop task selected, gdm is started
after selecting "Finish configuring the base system".
After this, invisible to the user, base-config is still running on VT1
because it is waiting for "Exit the base system configuration".

Because base-config is still running, /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is
locked, causing errors when trying to install new packages that use
debconf.

The solution would seem to be to move starting the display manager from
/usr/lib/base-config/menu/finish to /usr/lib/base-config/menu/exit.
