Bug#956885: gnome: gdm fails to start up after bullseye upgrade

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.30+2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

after performing a dist-ugprade on my bullseye distribution today (not a
release upgrade) my desktop system has stopped working. Instead of the
login screen I get a white screen with the message

"Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system
can't recover. Plese contact a system administrator"

In the syslog I see gnome-shell errors that relate to libgnome-desktop
and I have noticed that with the upgrade the gnome package has become
dependend on a second version of libgnome-desktop-3-19 alongside the
previous libgnome-desktop 3-18. I have tried uninstalling both
libgnome-desktop versions and then reinstalling gnome, but that has not
changed anything.

Excerpt from syslog:
