Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.1.3-1
Severity: important
Hi,
after several "apt-get upgrade" (testing) kdm didnt start and executing
"/etc/init.d/kdm start" results in
"Not starting K Desktop Manager (kdm); it is not the default display manager."
(As well as xdm -- no other window managers installed)
After fiddling for a while i found out, that /etc/X11/default-display-manager
contains the following line:
10 kdm/daemon_name doesn't exist
which seems to be an error message of db_get or so. If found the following
line in "/var/lib/dpkg/info/xdm.postinst"
safe_debconf db_get "$DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER"/daemon_name
So this might be a problem of xdm after all!
I can reproduce the whole thing by starting "dpkg-reconfigure xdm" and
switching to "kdm" there. Switching back and forth between xdm and kdm
with "dpkg-reconfigure kdm" fixes the problem.

Hi,
Please upgrade to the most recent kdm version ( 3.1.5-2 currently ).
The bug has already been fixed.
