Package: gdm Version: 2.20.5-1 Severity: important When trying to remove gdm, which is not currently running, I get the following:
streaker:~# dpkg -r gdm (Reading database ... 156521 files and directories currently installed.) Removing gdm ... Stopping GNOME Display Manager: gdminvoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "stop" failed. dpkg: error processing gdm (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Scheduling reload of GNOME Display Manager configuration: gdminvoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed. Errors were encountered while processing: gdm In prerm, the call to invoke-rc.d to stop gdm should probably be followed with "|| true". Or maybe there should be a check to verify that gdm is actually running before calling invoke-rc.d.
