Public bug reported: I'm on Ubuntu Wily and lightdm has been failing to install for the past couple weeks. I've tried everything from removing the package and doing a clean install to reverting to an older version, but it always fails with the same error. Here's the error that I get when running the install:
-- Preconfiguring packages ... lightdm failed to preconfigure, with exit status 30 Selecting previously unselected package lightdm. . . . .
