Bug Description

hi!

just ran the update to KDE-SC 4.12.2 (ppa-backports)

APT informed that KDM & kubuntu-desktop would be going to be removed, so thy were.

Seems some dependencies are not resolved accordingly as a reinstall before logout gets refused?

I've upgraded 12.04 with the LTS-HWE-Stack 12.04.4. recently

This the refuse-install comment:

> file-rc (>=0.8.16), aber es kann nicht installiert werden

sysv-rc 2.88dsf-13.10ubuntu11.1 is already installed (assuming because of the newest HWE-Stack). I dont use Lightdm & and have single-graphics-chip.& have 32-Bit

Do you need more information to resolve this?

As a temporary solution lightdm + lightdm-kde-greeter were installed, to have a Login-screen.

Thanks for that pretty fast fix!

Happily got rid of LightDM after that.
