/usr/sbin/deluser: `/usr/sbin/userdel lightdm' returned error code 8. Exiting.
dpkg: error processing lightdm (--purge):

Which indicates that LightDM was probably removed while it was running.

We should probably just warn if this occurs with the penalty that a
lightdm user will be left on the system.

** Summary changed:

- package lightdm 1.4.0-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
+ LightDM package fails to remove if lightdm user is in use

** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged

Title:
  LightDM package fails to remove if lightdm user is in use

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  After installing new updates op Ubuntu 12.04, lightdm stopped working
  properly, I can loggin but after that it only shows my wallpaper and
  my cursor. Sometimes I am unable to login.

  I can however right click my desktop and go to settings etc, but the graphics are extremely laggy (for example moving a window).
  But I can't see my desktop menu bar or anything else.
