Package: lightdm
Version: 1.18.2-2
Severity: normal
Dear maintainers
Thanks for your work in lightdm!!
I just upgraded my desktop from jessie to stretch.
I use lightdm and KDE plasma.
I did:
dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
and chose "kdm" as my default desktop manager, just to try kdm.
Then when I boot the PC, I get "FAILED to start light display manager"
errors.
If I do dpkg-reconfigure lightdm and I choose lightdm again, the errors
disappear.
I guess the service is not correctly disabled when I choose a different
desktop manager.
If I should report this bug against a different package, please tell.
Best regards

kdm was last released with Debian 8 (jessie) in April 2015
and was removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by sddm.
See https://bugs.debian.org/803635 for details on the removal.
I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
