Bug description:
  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
