Package: lightdm
Version: 1.0.11-1
Followup-For: Bug #672686
Dear Maintainer,
sorry for the Italian, but I thought that the output message "11" was
sufficient.
By the way, I think that my mistake lead us to find the real problem: I purged
lightdm with LANG=C and no errors were reported:
~$ LANG=C sudo aptitude purge lightdm
[sudo] password for milo:

So I reinstalled lightdm once again and this time all went fine.
Without LANG=C it fails to delete user and group "lightdm" and during the
subsequent reinstall it not creates /var/lib/lightdm.
Just to be sure, I just reproduce the bug on another machine.
Regards and thanks,
Marco Milone
