I'm running sid, I'm having a problem with the upgrade of kdm, the error just 
says that the postinstallation script return an error (30). This message is 
very cryptic and it's pretty much useless.

 Anybody know if there is a procedure to see what is going on really? I mean, 
I'd like to watch the execution of the postinstall script to see where is 
failing. Is it possible to do that?

Toshiro.
