Yann,
There's a simple fix, which avoids running any dpkg-* commands:
sudo su
echo "/usr/sbin/lightdm" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager
exit
That should do it.

Title:
"dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" fails
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
GDM was used instead of lightdm, so I uninstalled it (sudo aptitude
remove gdm), it told me to uninstall also gdm-guest-session. And it
told me to run "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm". But it fails, so I have to
manually launch "sudo lightdm" from TTY1 to log in.
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME
missing
dpkg-maintscript-helper: warning: environment variable
