Hello Schlomo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lightdm into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be

hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Title:
  Guest user not removed after guest session ends when using bash as
  default shell

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in lightdm source package in Precise:
  Triaged
Status in lightdm source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in lightdm source package in Utopic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The /usr/sbin/giest-account script contains a bug which prevents the
  removal of guest accounts:

  $ sudo /usr/sbin/guest-account remove guest-Hhiook
  /usr/sbin/guest-account: line 129: UID: readonly variable

  Maybe this is related to /bin/sh actually beeing a Bash:

  $ ll -d /bin/sh
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan  1 01:44 /bin/sh -> bash*

  But since using Bash as default sh is still a "feature" of Ubuntu, all
  scripts should work with both.

  Running the script with dash actually works:

  $ sudo dash /usr/sbin/guest-account remove guest-ZWCtva
  umount: /tmp/guest-ZWCtva: mountpoint not found
  umount: /tmp/guest-ZWCtva: mountpoint not found
  Removing user `guest-ZWCtva' ...
  Warning: group `guest-ZWCtva' has no more members.
  Done.
