[Bug 1542912] Re: ubuntu-mate-core and lightdm do not upgrade cleanly

 

Additional information:
1.) I did a fresh install, updated the kernel and rebooted.
2.) I manually upgraded lightdm and ubuntu-mate-core immediately => everything ok.
3.) sudo apt-get upgrade and everything is fine, no bug to be seen.
4.) Obviously the order in which the upgrade is applied is important. Something got screwed up with the automatic ordering of applying the updates.

  No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
