Hi Nick,
thank you. I looked after that.

First, a you sure that slim wasnt updated too? Because
if it was it is most
likely bug in slim. If not than this looks like a problem with debconf
database (or a bug in debconf).
As to what is logged in /var/log/aptitude, slim was
only once installed when I
set up the system.
--> /var/log/apt/history.log says this about slim and tdm-trinity:

When I upgraded tdm-trinity the first time from "~pre36" to "~pre39",
after slim
had been installed, the problem appeared, that the default display-manager got
changed.
That's why I was thinking it might have something to do with package
tdm-trinity. But I don't understand this whole update and configuration process
sufficiently enough, that I really could tell. And, yes, could have something
to do with slim package as well.
Look in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat for
shared/default-x-display-manager
and post a context of this section
Alright, /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is from 2018-07-03 15:27:28, probably
when I manually reconfigured display-manager, and not from when I did the
upgrade on 2018-07-02 11:42:01. This is in it:
$ grep -n -A1 -B1 -E "tdm|slim" config.dat

What can you get out of this?
