Bug#365134: upgraded xdm not starting
Followup-For: Bug #365134
Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.1-6
*** Please type your report below this line ***
After doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, the new xdm package no longer starts.
I've had this happen on two systems. It may be related to the fact that
some scripts aren't looking for binaries in the right place.
