Binary package hint: gdm

The error occurred while attempting to cure a login problem (Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode) by uninstalling and then reinstalling gdm (and a number of other packages as well, e.g. compiz (core, plugins and manager), xserver-xgl, csm, cgwd & cgwd-themes). The reinstallation of gdm included the upgrade mentioned above.
