Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.30.2-11
Severity: critical
Tags: upstream
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

After a recent full-upgrade, which included the installation of
libgnome-desktop-3-18:amd64 (3.34.0-2, automatic), gdm fails to start,
with the following gnome-shell error.
