[Bug 285172] [NEW] kdm postinst fails when /etc/X11/default-display-manager is 0 byte file

[Mark Painter]

Public bug reported:

When installing kubuntu-desktop, one of my machines which had a 0 byte
/etc/X11/default-display-manager had the kdm postinst fail.  The
postinst reliably fails in this case, with error messages like so:

> sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up kdm (4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.3) ...
basename: missing operand
Try `basename --help' for more information.
dpkg: error processing kdm (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
