Package: gdm3 Version: 3.0.4-4 Severity: minor I reinstalled gdm3 after purging it (as I suspected I had old config). I made sure that the /etc/gdm3 and /var/lib/gdm3 were removed after a reboot. Then I reinstalled gdm3 from the Linux text console, but I got warnings:
[...] Selecting previously unselected package gdm3. (Reading database ... 506345 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking gdm3 (from .../gdm3_3.0.4-4_amd64.deb) ...

[....] Scheduling reload of GNOME Display Manager configuration: gdm3No such key `show-actions' in schema `org.gnome.power-manager' as specified in override file `/tmp/gdm-KQnYMd/xx_upstream.gschema.override'; ignoring override for this key. No such key `icon-policy' in schema `org.gnome.power-manager' as specified in override file `/tmp/gdm-KQnYMd/yy_debian.gschema.override'; ignoring override for this key. . ok The ones specific to installation are: Warning: The home dir /var/lib/gdm3 you specified already exists. adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/gdm3' does not belong to the user you are currently creating. I suspect that these warning are unavoidable (because /var/lib/gdm3 is added before the Debian-gdm' user is created). In this case, I suggest to output a message in gdm3.postinst before adduser is executed. Something like: Creating Debian-gdm user.
