Hi,

I am looking at some ancient bug reports for this already orphaned package.
I am aware that original bug report is 9 years old, so you may no longer be
using wdm, but in case you still use it, there is something in above error
message that also appeared in 

http://bugs.debian.org/488715
http://bugs.debian.org/547251

and that was fixed in wdm_1.28-3.5, so you may be interested in try again and 
see what happens.

Thanks for your feedback.
