Correct. (note i already reinstalled gdm, i just feel that SHOULD happen, i mean, its gdm, why would it get removed?) My upgrade was something like this:
//edit my sources.list to reflect edgy sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade //FAILED because of x11-common //got a workaround from gnomefreak in #ubuntu+1 //workaround is as follows sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_1%3a7.1.1ubuntu5_i386.deb sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo shutdown -r now Xorg -version //came back as 7.0.0 so i assumed the upgrade failed sudo apt-get dist-upgrade //Here I ran synaptic and hit "remove" on a broken package, at which point it highlighted all broken packages for removal, and offered to install other packages (i don't know why) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f Xorg -version //came back as 7.1.1 so i assumed the upgrade succeeded as you can tell i was trying just about everything, but in the end it DID work, but it also cost me my GDM. I suppose it could have been my own upgrade proccess that did this, but i know other people who experienced the x11-common dependancy problems -- GDM Uninstalled on Upgrade https://launchpad.net/bugs/67069 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
