Bug#365134: wrong paths to executables or executables in wrong places

[Olivier Ponsini <ponsini@i3s.unice.fr>]

Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.1-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello,

The paths to, at least, the xdm and X executables are not set up 
correctly.

Some init scripts or configuration files, including /etc/init.d/xdm or 
/etc/X11/default-display-manager expect the xdm executable to be in 
/usr/bin/X11/xdm while the package installs it in /usr/bin.

Moreover, the xdm executable (I think) looks for /usr/bin/X while X is 
to be found, in debian testing, in /usr/X11R6/bin. The same problem 
occurs for, at least, xrdb which is looked for in /usr/bin but to be 
found in /usr/X11R6/bin.

I suppose this is due to the upgrade of Xorg in debian unstable reaching 
testing.  

Best regards,

  olivier ponsini
