Title:
  package lightdm 1.4.0-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upon boot, stuck in lightdm and/or gdm login window loop.
  Login with correct password switches screen to terminal session briefly before returning to login screen.
  Workaround was to switch to another screen (ctl+F5) and login using a local user/admin account and shutdown existing X11 service and then run startxfce4 from that prompt.
