Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

I'd like to include xdm in the xfce task, but I can't since it fails as
follows:

Warning: Fake start-stop-daemon called, doing nothing.
cat: /var/run/xdm.pid: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing xdm (--configure);
  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This is due to the following code:

# Don't start the daemon if it's already running...
if start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --signal 0 --pid /var/run/xdm.pid \
                     --name $(basename $DAEMON) ; then
  # Note our refusal to start the daemon if we were supposed to start it.
  [ -n "$NOSTART" ] || DENYSTART=yes
  DENIAL_REASON="xdm is already running at pid $(cat /var/run/xdm.pid)"

The fake start-stop-daemon that d-i uses, like the one debootstrap uses,
always returns true, so this test doesn't work. (This could be considered
a bug in debian-installer-utils..)

It seems to me that the easiest fix for this is to not check for a running
xdm if xdm is being freshly installed ($1 = install, $2 = "").
