Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.11-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Trying to use xdm for the first time in a decade after sddm destroyed itself
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Xdm logged me in to some crazy session rather than my normal kde; tried to figure out what was wrong; found /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession broken

Xdm logged me in to some crazy session rather than my normal kde; tried to figure out what was wrong; found /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession broken
The new release of xdm is not using cpp (C Preprocessor) to process
files under /etc/X11/xdm/ anymore. Consider this bug as fixed.
Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
