Bug#577216: gdm: Create DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE.dpkg-tmp to crt dir

[Eugen Dedu]

Subject: gdm: Create DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE.dpkg-tmp to crt dir
Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.10-2
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

*** Please type your report below this line ***
I discover a DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE.dpkg-tmp file in my home
directory.  I use just "su" to become root, and afterwards apt-get
upgrade.  gdm, during upgrading, has wrongly moved that file into my
home directory.

I think the problem is in gdm.config:
mv $DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE "DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MANAGER_FILE.dpkg-tmp"
where there is a $ missing.

Cheers,
Eugen
