Bug Description

Hi,

1.0.0-0ubuntu1 doesn't clean /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf, because $LAST_VERSION passed to dpkg-maintscript-helper is too low: 0.9.7-0ubuntu1 (that was the one when I made the patch for this change), and unfortunately, 0.9.7-0ubuntu2 was uploaded in the meantime... This probably needs to be bumped to 1.0.0-0ubuntu1 in debian/lightdm-gtk-greeter.postinst, debian/lightdm-gtk-greeter.postrm and debian/lightdm-gtk-greeter.preinst (sorry, I can't provide a patch before this evening).

So the conffile is not cleaned, update-alternatives won't replace a file with a symlink, of course, so I can't theme the greeter (and I'm starting to grow tired of that "whole lightdm is so better than gdm thing", because after weeks of fighting it still isn't usable by derivatives one day before the final freeze).

Thanks.

Hey Lionel, thanks for the bug, I can understand your frustration but your comment is misplaced, the issue you get are not with lightdm but with packaging, Robert clearly stated before that he was probably not the best placed to get the alternative set up and the evaluate how derivative packaging and that he would welcome help on that, he didn't let patches unreviewed either. The upstream lightdm code issues have been addressed in a reasonable timeframe

This bug was fixed in the package lightdm - 1.0.0-0ubuntu2

---------------
lightdm (1.0.0-0ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/lightdm-gtk-greeter.postinst,
    debian/lightdm-gtk-greeter.postrm,
    debian/lightdm-gtk-greeter.preinst:
    - move the gtk-greeter conffile starting from 1.0.0-0ubuntu1 and not
      0.9.7-0ubuntu1 (the patch using 0.9.7-0ubuntu1 as a reference has
      been integrated in 1.0.0-0ubuntu1 without being updated even if
      0.9.7-0ubuntu2 was already released). Ensure we do it now (LP: #861316)
