Public bug reported:

Keen to try out Gnome 40 on impish, I enabled impish-proposed and
updated, all was fine.  I prefer the upstream vanilla gnome experience
so installed vanilla-gnome-desktop which depends on vanilla-gnome-
default-settings.  However, vanilla-gnome-default-settings installation
failed:

Setting up vanilla-gnome-default-settings (20.04.1) ...
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for gdm3-theme.gresource
dpkg: error processing package vanilla-gnome-default-settings (--configure):
 installed vanilla-gnome-default-settings package post-installation script 
subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 vanilla-gnome-default-settings
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

1) $ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu Impish Indri (development branch)
Release:        21.10

2) $ apt-cache policy vanilla-gnome-default-settings
vanilla-gnome-default-settings:
  Installed: 20.04.1
  Candidate: 20.04.1
  Version table:
 *** 20.04.1 500
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/universe amd64 Packages
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu impish/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) I would expect the package to install without errors.

4) Instead it does not complete installation.

Further attempts to --configure etc also fail.

I understand this is software in development, I'm just trying to help.
Thanks for all your hard work.
