Bug#285150: Typo in /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup prevents login
Package: xdm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-9
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
hi,
the last update to xdm introduced a small bug which prevents
any user from logging in:
/etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup:
exec sessreg -a -l "$DISPLAY" -u /var/run/utmp
-x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers "$USER"
there must be a \ at the end of the first line:
exec sessreg -a -l "$DISPLAY" -u /var/run/utmp \
-x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers "$USER"
