Don't worry. Now you know :) Also, as updating lightdm solved the issue, the problem seems not to be a soname issue (as you mentioned below). >> Now, where should this dependency be put?

A simple solution which came to my mind yesterday is to Break: lightdm (<< 1.6.0-3) from lightdm-qt. Then no additional dependency from lightdm-kde-greeter is needed (though it may still be a good idea to add it? Not sure about this). > But that also brings a dependency loop: > > lightdm depends on lightdm-greeter lightdm-greeter is provided by > lightdm-gtk-greeter | lightdm-kde-greeter lightdm-*-greeter depend > on liblightdm* > > I'll try to ask upstream about this loop and if it's possible to > avoid that. That loop is not new, isn't it? Also, it's only a loop in terms of source packages, not for binary packages.
