Bug#756111: gnome-shell: gnome shell not starting due to missing API after update

It was auto locked by aptitude during an upgrade. Was not appearing as on hold in the dpkg prompt.

I ran a dist-upgrade which pulled down version 3.12 and it seems stable now.

Thanks for the advice.

Regards,
Giovanni
