Description Laurent Bigonville 2015-12-11 22:56:03 UTC 
Hi,

xdm also uses cpp to generate configuration files, with cpp >= 4.8 the configuration files contains a lot of empty lines.

This is similar to bug #69439, the same patch seems to fix the main issue, but the file generated is not identical to the one generated before (this can be annoying for pkg manager detecting if a configuration file has changed), and a bit more problematic is that some paths like the following now contain a white character:

-xlogin*logoFileName: /usr/share/X11/xdm/pixmaps/debian.xpm
+xlogin*logoFileName: /usr/share/X11/xdm/pixmaps /debian.xpm


-xlogin*logoFileName: /usr/share/X11/xdm/pixmaps/debianbw.xpm
+xlogin*logoFileName: /usr/share/X11/xdm/pixmaps /debianbw.xpm
