When the package is installed but gpm is not running (i.e. daemon not started)
this error appers right after login on a tty:
disable-paste: cannot open mouse connection
profile.d/gpm.sh should check if gpm is started before running disable-paste.
Someone else also mentionned that in bug tracker. I'll upload a fixed package.

Please test and signoff gpm-1.20.6-5 in testing. The gpm.sh profile
now checks if gpm is running before running disable-paste.
