I'm new to debian. I've been getting the following error when I try to install mysql-navigator with the command:
apt-get install mysql-navigator

There seems to be something wrong with kdm. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Thanks for any help.

It's a known bug - there's a patch for the "kdm.config" file in this bug report - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugre...g=224603&msg=6 . The file is located in /var/lib/dpkg/info and you can just make the changes manually (it's only a two line change).
