No, not at all. This happened on a fairly fresh lenny system, installed just a couple of days earier with the d-i beta. I used it for a few days with GNOME before deciding to switch back to my preferred KDE environment, which is when I experienced the problem with gdm. I had initially removed the GNOME packages using aptitude in single user mode, and gdm failed to remove. After still failing to remove the package with dpkg -r, I submitted this bug report and removed the package by inserting "exit 0" early in the prerm script. IIRC I had installed KDE before removing GNOME. Since, of course, I no longer have gdm installed, I'll probably have trouble replicating this problem. I'll see if I can find time to install a qemu system or something and try to follow similar steps... noah
