lxqt-about doesn't require lightdm nor any of its greeters.

Both kde and lxqt greeter was dropped from the distro so you're seeing this most probably because of you had one of the dropped greeters installed and it's now replaced with one of the greeters we still have.

LXQt users should use sddm instead. If you have multiple DEs installed and you want to stick with lightdm, the you'll have to live with the fact that you'll have to use one of the gtk greeters.

Yes I do not see direct dependence.
Nevertheless, by trying to install it urpmi ask me to choose one.

Yes lightdm-lxqt was already installed.

I think that it is premature to dropped the lxqt version of ligthdm, because sddm do not work with the older processors #13991

I think that it is necessary to keep a version with qt4, because it is qt5 which seems to raise problem.

IMHO it was the right move to drop lxqt greeter at this point as it's been obsoleted by upstream [1] and we can't be sure that it'll get any updates or security/bug fixes. If we ship it with mga5, we'll have to support it at least 18 months so better to drop it now. I might also drop another-gtk-greeter as well.

lxqt-about-0.8.0-3.mga5.i586.rpm do not ask any more lightdm
