severity 195052 important
thanks
In current kdm/unstable package following code still exists in postinst:
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -x "/etc/init.d/kdm" ]; then
update-rc.d kdm defaults 99 01 >/dev/null
if [ -x /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d ]; then
invoke-rc.d kdm start
else
/etc/init.d/kdm start
fi
fi
This breaks all the code above in the same script that decides either start
kdm or not.
This affects badly debian initial installation.
If user selects to install kdm, X is started while packages are being
installed, and the console will become hidden (and lost for unexperienced
users who don't know aboun Ctrl+Alt+Fn).
But ot that console futher questions may be asked by base-config. User will
not see them - when kdm's login prompt appears, user will think that
installation is complete. This will end with uncomplete installation and
broken system.
So I'm rising the bug's severity.
Btw, if the mentioned code is commented out, situation becomes much better.
Base-config automatically starts kdm after installation is complete :).
