To debug why the lxdm postinst script fails, you need to edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/lxdm.postinst and change the line that says

    set -e

to

    set -ex

to enable verbose output, then run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and attach the output here.

If you could do this, it would help any other users that might encounter the same problem during upgrades.
