Title:
  "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" fails

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  GDM was used instead of lightdm, so I uninstalled it (sudo aptitude
  remove gdm), it told me to uninstall also gdm-guest-session. And it
  told me to run "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm". But it fails, so I have to
  manually launch "sudo lightdm" from TTY1 to log in.

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
  dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME missing
  dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE missing
