Bug Description

dist-upgrade today on a wily VM completely freezes boot. I'm reporting this against lightdm because it's the last message I see in the console during boot. I haven't bisected the dist-upgrade yet, but I can verify that I've seen this on two VMs (running in Fusion on OS X, though I doubt that matters - I haven't upgraded to wily on any native installs yet).

The last message I see on the console is:

[ OK ] Started Run Click system-level hooks.
       Started Light Display Manager... and deal with any system changes..p link was shut down..e

after that, nothing!

After bisecting the dist-upgrade, apt-mark holding various packages until I found the culprit.

It's either xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core, or xvfb (probably not the latter).

If I unhold the first two and dist-upgrade, I see the freeze.

no longer affects: lightdm (Ubuntu)

This appears to be fixed with today's full dist-upgrade.
