Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.3.1-4
Severity: normal
On trying to install the latest version of kdm,
4%3a3.3.2-1_i386
the installation process fails with the following error messages
dpkg -i kdm_4%3a3.3.2-1_i386.deb

Errors were encountered while processing:
kdm_4%3a3.3.2-1_i386.deb
Is this due to an error in the kdm installation script or an error
in the debconf package?
