Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading to sddm  0.12.0, sddm stopped to work. I then upgraded libqt5x11extras5
as per bug 802811 but after the next boot it did not start. It could not start it by
logging into the console and typing:
    /etc/init.d/sddm stop
    /etc/init.d/sddm start

But logging in over via ssh and then using the same two commands worked. It's still the
only way I have to start sddm 0.12.0.
