[solved] error uninstalling lightdm

Hi,
I used to have lightdm and lightdm-gtk3-greeter installed and wanted to remove those packages. I disabled the lightdm service and uninstalled first the greeter, than lightdm. this is what I get:

# sudo pacman -R lightdm
checking dependencies...

Packages (1): lightdm-1:1.12.0-1

Total Removed Size:   0.83 MiB

:: Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n] Y
(1/1) removing lightdm                             [######################] 100%
error: command failed to execute correctly

It's not a crucial issue but I'd rather have it removed properly. Thanks for your help,
regards

The post_remove script just deletes the user and group. One of them obviously failed, so remove them yourself.
