Package: gdm3
Version: 3.4.1-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Hi,
my current system is a mixture of unstable and testing, with dconf-tools
obviously not yet upgraded to the version in unstable. Today I broke my
complete X server (thus the severity) by upgrading gdm3 to the version in
unstable. The following line has been printed into syslog several times while
the X server kept shutting down and restarting over and over again:
ERROR: Unable to open '/var/lib/gdm3/dconf/db/gdm', specified in dconf
profile#012#012aborting...
This was fixed by simply installing dconf-tools 0.12.1-2 from unstable. I have
seen that you already fixed this dependency in SVN, but I 'd like to keep this
bug open as a help for others until you uploaded the fixed package.
BTW, I don't think the X server should get restarted over and over again.
Instead, it should simply break after a number of unsuccessful attempts.
- Fabian
