Bug#890809: gnome-shell crash with gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0:amd64==3.27.90-1

[Abhijit Hoskeri]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.26.2-5
Severity: grave


Hi,

gnome-shell crashes on startup with the new version of
gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0 is installed. I worked around the problem by
holding the package to 3.26.x.

This prevents both gdm3 from starting up, and from gnome-session from
working from .xinitrc.

I have a core-dump, and here is the thread that crashes.

                Stack trace of thread 3842:
