I've just put an LXDM update into the testing repo - I know it works because I am setting up the 2.1.0 discs with it - can folks let me know if the upgrade to it goes smoothly?

Got this warning:

It works as expected with the surprise of usr/bin/lxdm-config. That is really kool, I made a desktop file for it.

I had no problems with the update except the same error message Charles got below. That doesn't appear to be the result of the update, bodhi has the same issue with update-alternatives and lxdm on a default install of 2.0.1.

I got the same warning and it leaves update-alternatives in a slightly broken state.

For example run:

sudo update-alternatives --config lxdm.conf

and you will see it gives the same error.

Fortunately if you care the fix is easy:

sudo update-alternatives --force --config lxdm.conf
