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

"Experimental" being difficult to use is one reason why the Debian GNOME team has pushed some previous GNOME releases before they've actually reached their .0 release. I think for 3.28, we'll be pushing many components at the 3.27.92 "RC" release (in two weeks), although many of the apps work fine even at their .90 releases. I am waiting on upstream to bump the soname for mutter (a release tarball would be cool too) because the new version of mutter is not compatible with at least GNOME Shell 3.26 (I haven't tried Budgie with it yet). Thanks, Jeremy Bicha

Thanks for the response - I am aware of the dangers - my goal is to help catch bugs and contribute to debian. If you consider these bugs as spurious, is there a better way to upgrade gnome early and still report bugs that are useful? Thanks, Abhijit.

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