Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.3~pre3-1
Severity: normal


Upgrading gpm from 1.19.6-25 to 1.20.3~pre3-1 failed, leaving me
stranded without a mouse:

Setting up gpm (1.20.3~pre3-1) ...
Stopping mouse interface server: gpm.
Starting mouse interface server: gpm*** err [gpn.c(147)]: Error in the
commandline specification. Try "/usr/sbin/gpm -h".

 failed!
 invoke-rc.d: initscript gpm, action "restart" failed.

Downgrading the package rendered it useful again.
