@satmandu Thank you for pointing that documentation out. It is correct that it is helpful to test Proposed, but I think that information was written when packages in proposed were only published for stable series, which only contain prospective Stable Release Updates, and is the way "for testing

Fully aware that proposed is not supported, and that this may cause instability. Just trying to be helpful as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed "Proposed updates are only for testing updates and providing development feedback. Enabling this may introduce instability." This bug r

I'm not sure we do need a backtrace now. libffi is used everywhere in gnome-shell/gjs for calls between C and JavaScript. The exact location of the crash might not matter if it's just an ABI break as Steve suggests. In theory that shouldn't happen though, as gnome-shell/gjs is strictly linked to li
