Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.1-6
Severity: normal
I've just tried to upgrade xdm to 1:1.0.1-6, from a
not-very-old 6.9.something version (sorry, I don't think I can now find
out what the old version was). I have not upgraded any other X
packages.
When xdm tries to start, according to /var/log/xdm.log :
server /usr/bin/X cannot be executed
This comes from /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers, which has this path hardcoded.
My X server seems to be in /usr/X11R6/bin/X, provided by xserver-common
6.9.0.dfsg.1-4.
My guess is that the location of the X server has changed recently, and
that if I now upgraded my other X packages it would now work properly.
But I'm not going to test this.
One solution would be to make xdm depend on whatever package it is
that provides the X server, so that it will find it in the right place.
Otherwise some mechanism to find X wherever it is installed is needed.
