Package: mutter
Version: 3.22.2-3
Severity: important


Dear Maintainer,

I'm experiencing an issue with gdm3 and gnome-shell while trying to
start the login manager. The login manager never start and no graphical
interface is available.

I'm getting this message:
/usr/bin/gnome-shell: error while loading shared libraries: libmutter-cogl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and adding the symbolic link /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmutter-cogl.so
to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mutter/libmutter-cogl.so fixes the issue.

I'm not sure which upgrade did this because I rebooted with success since the last libmutter upgrade.

Thanks,
Thomas
