Bug#3095: xbase kills xdm and *then* asks (politely, but belatedly)
package: xbase
version: 3.1.2-9
actual text from a dpkg -GORBiE:
Preparing to replace xbase (using ./xbase-3.1.2-9.deb) ...
stopped /usr/bin/X11/xdm (pid 4053 32381).
no /usr/bin/X11/xfs found; none killed.
About to upgrade the xbase package. To do this, xdm and xfs must
be stopped. When they are stopped, all X sessions managed by xdm
will be terminated.
May I stop xdm and xfs? (y/n) [y]
(I hit return, and of course get:
no /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm found; none killed.
no /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs found; none killed.
it wasn't kidding :-)
