Could the same thing have happened in debian?

Subject: [slint] Re: After Upgrade 14 September 2021 Cannot Login to Mate
Hello David,
thanks for your bug report!
The issue is that new mate-session-manager installs a file named:
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.mate-session
whereas in previous versions it was named:
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.mate
This confuse session-chooser as it looks for the latter, not the former.
As a workaround, please type this as root:
cd /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
ln -s xinitrc.mate-session xinitrc.mate
Then as regular user type:
session-chooser mate
startx
I will provide a new package mate-session-manager making this symbolic link as
a post-installation task later today.
Cheers,
Didier

Hello List,
After update on 14 September 2021, I can no longer log into MATE.
I updated and upgraded after seeing Didier's message today 15 September 2021.
I still cannot log into Mate, only the other Desktop Environments.
I can use the other Desktop Environments (DE) by using "session-chooser" all
of them work but an odd thing happens.
After successfully starting another DE, if I try to start mate with
session-chooser, I cannot open mate, but I open the last DE that I used.
I used several DE and this repeats itself, if I use lxde, when I try to use
"session-chooser mate", mate won't run, but lxde will, same thing with
kde-plasma and the other DE that are in SLINT.
Just in case the Xorg log will help, I attach it.
Best regards,
David
