>Description:

The gdm pkg does not run anymore.

gdm_config_parse: Authdir /var/gnome/gdm does not exist. Aborting.

Indeed this directory does not exist, because it never used to exist and
the pkg didn't create it nor told me to create it myself.

I don't understand why, because 

 pkg_info -f gdm | fgrep gdm

shows:

        EXEC 'install -d -o daemon -g daemon -m 750 /var/gnome/gdm'
        UNEXEC '/bin/rm -rf /var/gnome/gdm'

On a site note: the rc.d script for gdm seems to be installed in 
/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d - it's the only file I have in there. It's a place I
never would have expected a rc.d script.

>How-To-Repeat:

cd pkgsrc/x11/gdm && make update && echo "you loose"

n/a
