** Description changed:
- 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:
+ Impact
+ ------
+ A user that tries to install vanilla-gnome-default-settings (or its reverse
dependency vanilla-gnome-desktop) gets an error every time they use apt. There
isn't a built in way in apt to fix this error.
+
+ Test Case
+ ---------
+ Enabled proposed updates
+ From a terminal, run
+ sudo apt install vanilla-gnome-default-settings
+ The install should complete without any dpkg errors.
+
+ Where Problems Could Occur
+ --------------------------
+ This is a one-line typo fix. It's not really possible to make this worse
since the current package already leaves dpkg in a very unhappy state.

+ Original Bug Report
+ -------------------
+ 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):

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
1) $ lsb_release -rd

2) $ apt-cache policy vanilla-gnome-default-settings
vanilla-gnome-default-settings:

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.
