Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
The problem: Today, gmd has being refusing to login correctly: after I
enter my password, it makes some screen resolution switches and then
returns again to the password screen.
A hint: the last thing I made was installing the program "AcetoneISO".
This installs the suspicious gnupg-agent and gnupg2 as well.
The workaround: so I just changed to tty1 and removed acetoneISO with
the help of aptitude. Changed to gdm and still can't login. Realised
that the gnupg packages were not removed with acetone, so I removed them
as well. Now I can login and write this bug report.
Probably something is wrong with those packages, but gdm should not be
prone to this kind of failures. As the effect is an unusable- system-by-
normal-people and I suppose that a lot of other packages depend on
gnupg-agent or gnupg2, this could be a pretty serious bug with maybe
medium priority.
