[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#679409: lightdm: Fails to start on boot, invoke-rc.d lightdm start fails

[James Tocknell]

Package: lightdm
Version: 1.2.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

With sysvinit > 2.88dsf-22.1, lightdm fails to start, and invoke-rd.d lightdm
start fails with the message "start: Job failed to start". Using startx does
work, so the issue isn't with X.
