Dear Maintainer,

I updated my system this evening, after a long day, and found that when I restarted my system, it gave me the benign error "Oh no, something has gone wrong, please contact systems administrator", which, of course, being the sole proprietor of the system that I am administrating, I felt obligated to try and solve the problem. I attempted, in vain, to restart gdm.service, which I did do successfully, only for the same error to appear. I also tried, in vain, to update any of the gnome release canidate packages which have been held back, which also ended in vain. I would greatly appreciate it if this could be resolved in a timely manner. The extensions I had installed, if that is useful for you, are the notification block, the caffeine installation, and gs-connect, though in earnest, I had never bothered to set it up. I do not know of any potential solutions to solve this problem, and until someone has a suggestion, will assume it is just a matter of more packages needing porting from unstable down to testing branch. Still, this should be an unacceptable behavior, as one can see. I hope you find a quick solution, and have a wonderful day.
