Bug#226479: kdm upgrade fails with exit status 30

[Christian Kurz <shorty@debian.org>]

Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.1.4-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just tried to upgrade my system today and noticed that upgrading kdm
failed. I then manually set DEBCONF_DEBUG and ran apt-get install kdm.
This produced the following transcript:

[salem:~]-2> export DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer
[salem:~]-3> np-apt-get install kdm

kdm is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up kdm (3.1.4-1) ...

dpkg: error processing kdm (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 30
Errors were encountered while processing:
 kdm
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
zsh: exit 100

So as you can see, the postinst fails and apt-get/dpkg won't upgrade
kdm. Please take a look at this issue.

Christian
