Bug#666889: Problem with this transition, leading to gnome-shell segfault on login
Something seems to have gone wrong with this transition. I currently
have a set of packages installed that satisfy all dependency/conflict
relationships, but that causes gnome-shell to segfault on start:
May 4 20:46:37 leaf kernel: [ 201.565098] gnome-shell[2993]: segfault at 10 ip 00007f9ea0b27111 sp 00007fffeac60250 error 4 in libcogl.so.9.1.1[7f9ea0ad0000+87000]
May 4 20:46:37 leaf gnome-session[2911]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11
May 4 20:46:38 leaf kernel: [ 202.804935] gnome-shell[3110]: segfault at 10 ip 00007f9ec719c111 sp 00007fff7bd187a0 error 4 in libcogl.so.9.1.1[7f9ec7145000+87000]
May 4 20:46:38 leaf gnome-session[2911]: WARNING: App 'gnome-shell.desktop' respawning too quickly
May 4 20:46:38 leaf gnome-session[2911]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11
This happened after I did the following upgrade:
Will install 16 packages, and remove 0 packages.
568 kB of disk space will be used

Note that I didn't upgrade the clutter packages because it Breaks:
libcogl5, and umpteen other packages depend on libcogl5. Thus, I expect
that many other people may end up with the same set of installed
packages, and have their session completely fail to start.
