I ran apt-get update, then upgrade, then dist-upgrade and now startx
will not work.

I got the following error at the end of apt-get upgrade:

Setting up xdm (4.3.0-2).
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xdm.config line 645 "kdm" to "xdm": command not found

dpkg: error processing xdm (-- configure) subprcess post-installation
script returned error exit status 127

Everything was running OK before I did this update and upgrade. I looked
at line 645 in /var/lib/dpkg/info/xdm.config, but there are not
references to "kdm" or "xdm" on that line. Line 645 is the last line in
the script, so I think the error is occurring somewhere else and this is
some sort of exit point from the script???

Is there a way to back out all the changes and return to my previous
configuration before I ran apt-get update??

I need help to fix this problem. I have a project that I need to work on
and it is being help hostage by xdm!!

Thanks!
