[Winfried PLappert]

Public bug reported:

When upgrading from ubuntu-mate alpha2 to the current version in the
repositories, the upgrade throws an error after executing "sudo apt-get
install -f":

insserv: Service dbus has to be enabled to start service lightdm
insserv: exiting now!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
dpkg: error processing package lightdm (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-mate-core:
 ubuntu-mate-core depends on lightdm; however:
  Package lightdm is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package ubuntu-mate-core (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
                          Errors were encountered while processing:
 lightdm
 ubuntu-mate-core
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
