You are correct I am using lb3 (sorry I should have written that in my
first message but I kind of figured people would see what I was using by
the locations I wrote about) but your assumption that I am putting it in
lb2 locations is incorrect. From my first message
"Now I know LightDM is available in the repositories because I downloaded
it with apt-get download and placed it, and other debs, in the
/config/packages.chroot/ and /config/packages.binary/ folders. LightDM is
also listed in my preferences file to grab from Sid (it's not available in
Squeeze) and I have a sid.bainary and sid.chroot file in archives."
So yes, I believe I am placing the required files in the correct places.
