Details

Description: After installing lightdm (and the lightdm-gtk3-greeter) and enabling lightdm.service in systemd, after reboot my system went into a "starting X11-aborting X11" loop for several minutes until systemd decided that the lightdm service probably won't work.

With journalctl I can see hundreds of these messages.

Oct 01 08:21:58 thinkpad-t440p lightdm[940]: ** (lightdm:940): WARNING **: Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files

Oct 01 08:22:00 thinkpad-t440p systemd[1]: lightdm.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Oct 01 08:22:00 thinkpad-t440p systemd[1]: Unit lightdm.service entered failed state.

That indicated that I probably need extra/accountsservice, and indeed, after installing that lightdm works fine.

Additional info:
* package versions: community/lightdm 1:1.10.1-3, extra/accountsservice 0.6.38-1
* config and/or log files etc.

lightdm starts fine here without accountsservice, it reverts to its own implementation if it doesn't find accountsservice so there shouldn't be any issue. You having one does not warrant promoting accountsservice to the depends array as some people might not want to use it, optdepends is enough. You should report your issue upstream though.
