This happened to me with kdm4 (4:4.1.2-0ubuntu13), when my /etc/X11
/default-display-manager file was 1 line, with the following text:

#/usr/bin/kdm

So, it's not just 0 byte files; also files that begin with "#", which I
imagine is a pretty normal way for people to turn off the display
manager when they don't want it to start automatically.

Removing the default-display-manager file let me finish the installation
correctly, of course.
