Bug#962797: gnome-shell-extension-prefs not installed by default, so gear icon inactive

[Leszek Dubiel]

Package: gnome-shell-extension-prefs
Version: 3.36.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have standard Debian installation -- installed from scratch stable
distribution, upgraded to testing.

I was unable to go into preferences of any extension.
So I run from terminal  gnome-tweaks to see errors.

Error was:

execute_subprocess -- gnome-shell-extensions-prefs


Then I did:

apt-cache search gnome extension prefs

and found   gnome-shell-extensions-prefs.
Installed that and gear icons work like a charm.

I think novice Debian user will have problem working around this.
