Good point! then the bug is the following lines in lightdm.spec %if ! %{defined _distconfdir} sed -e 's-/usr/etc-%{_sysconfdir}-g' -i %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-suse-defaults.conf %endif because SLE's rpm-config now has _distconfdir /etc defined, since the definition do exist, sed doesn't execution. So it's still a bug in lightdm.
