Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.14.4-1~deb8u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
occured two days after installing Debian DVD-1. I did not try viewing the gnome-shell version beforehand, so I have no idea whether this has to do with my installation or not
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
"gnome-shell --replace" mostly works, but does not fix the bug and gives the following output: "Gjs-Message: JS LOG: Failed to launch ibus-daemon: Failed to execute child process "ibus-daemon" (No such file or directory)
Gjs-Message: JS WARNING: [/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/launch-new-instance at gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com/extension.js 9]: assignment to undeclared variable _activateOriginal

   * What was the outcome of this action?
a large error message
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
a fixed gnome-shell
