Package: gnome
Version: 1:43+1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,
since yesterday, Gnome fails to start and falls back to GDM3 when I try to
login. I cannot start gnome on wayland nor xorg anymore. Gnome classic fails as
well. Falling back to the terminal and trying `startx` does also not start
gnome either. Installing something else (MATE) helps.
Since there was no upgrade in Gnome recently, I suspect that one of the
dependencies got an upgrade. I do vaguely remember evolution, systemd and libc6
being the biggest updates today.
Here's some output of journalctl that looks suspicious. Maybe it helps you:
