The folder is necessary due to the create of the .Xauthority file. [Test Case] 1. $ sudo apt-get purge lightdm 2. $ sudo apt-get install lightdm Expected result: LightDM starts Observed result: Lightdm can't start. Manually creating /var/lib/lightdm and chown lightdm:lightdm makes it work. [Regression Potential] Low. The change is to not remove /var/lib/lightdm on package removal. This directory should only be removed when the user is removed.
