Package: lightdm
Version: 1.33.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrade to 1.33.0-1 system no longer allows opening sessions for other
users,
$ dm-tool switch-to-greeter
Unable to switch to greeter: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed:
Failed to switch to greeter
Downgrading to previous 1.32.0-7+b1 makes this problem disappear.
Thanks for caring of lightdm, hope this helps.

Hi, Yves-Alexis.
Thanks for uploading this upstream bugfix version. I confirm that it fixes
my problem, so I am closing this bug report.
Please look at #1110922 [lightdm: homepage field invalid] for next upload.
