i just ran into a bug where my /etc/X11/Xsession was not executable,
which caused ldm to break.

on most installations, it seems to be marked executable, but in some
cases with etch and sid installs, it sometimes isn't.

ogra looked at the various postinst scripts for X a little, and found
some interesting information...

17:27 < ogra> the debian/x11-common.postinst.in looks intresting
17:28  * vagrantc thinks about emailing the list
17:29 < ogra>         if ! [ -x /etc/X11/Xsession ]; then
17:29 < ogra>             chmod +x /etc/X11/Xsession
17:29 < ogra> from debian/xinit.postinst in the xinit source
17:30 < ogra> you purged and reinstalled x11-common ...
17:30 < ogra> which has:
17:30 < ogra>   if [ -e "/etc/X11/Xsession.xfree86" ] && [ ! -e
"/etc/X11/Xsession" ]; then
17:30 < ogra>     mv "/etc/X11/Xsession.xfree86" "/etc/X11/Xsession"
17:30 < ogra> in its postinst
17:30 < ogra> in its postinst
17:30 < vagrantc> i don't have xinit.postinst
17:31 < ogra> so it appears there was a time where it wasnt +x
17:31 < ogra> intresting
17:32 < ogra> we synced the debian packages for edgy afaik
17:33 < ogra> and then put the experimental ones on top ...
17:33 < ogra> so that should be in debian too ..

can we track this down better and file appropriate bugs?

maybe i file a bug to x11-common.... or xinit?

i'm confused :(

live well,
  vagrant
