Public bug reported:
Upon upgrading the package from version 18.04.1 to 18.04.2 and
subsequent reboot, the system is rendered unable to start lightdm and
gets stuck in an endless loop retrying.
This happened on 2 laptops, one company machine and one personal
machine.
I'm running bionic beaver on both of them, with bionic-updates and
bionic-proposed repositories enabled (however, xubuntu-default-settings
is from plain bionic).
Downgrading and putting the package on hold is a viable workaround for
the time being.
$ apt-cache policy xubuntu-default-settings
