Description Tyler Slabinski 2016-09-24 03:40:49 UTC
The ebuild for x11-misc/lightdm has `any-of ( gtk kde)`, which pulls in either the GTK or KDE greeter.

However, lightdm can be installed without a greeter if auto-login is enabled. I think we should remove the requirement of installing a greeter.

Fixed in 1.21.3. Thanks for the report.
