Public bug reported:

after apt-get purge lightdm the /var/lib/lightdm folder is deleted and
then never recreated reinstalling the lightdm package. The folder is
necessary due to the create of the .Xauthorithy file.

1. apt-get purge lightdm
2. apt-get install lightdm
Lightdm can't start

I have to manually create che /lightdm folder in /var/lib and then chown
lightdm:lightdm it.

Got the latest ubuntu Wily updates
