Public bug reported:

This happened while upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10 via aptitude. The
post-installation script of lightdm 1.8.2-0ubuntu1 tries to change the
owner of the directory /var/lib/lightdm recursively. Unfortunately, this
directory harbours a Gvfs related mount point (/var/lib/lightdm/.gvfs)
whose owner can't be changed this way.  The post-installation script
exits with an error, leaving lightdm unconfigured.

Workaround: Unmount /var/lib/lightdm/.gvfs manually and restart the
dist-upgrade.

I experienced the same error while upgrading from 12.10 to 13.04. Do you
guys actually read the bug reports?
