Package: xdm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal


dpkg-reconfigure doesn't set wdm and doesn't show sdm.

wdm does show up in the list for choosing a default display manager,
but after choosing it, no *dm can be started: "Not starting WINGs
display manager (wdm); it is not the default display manager".

sdm doesn't even show up in the list.
