Steps so far:

add:
deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150601T041739Z/ unstable  
main non-free contrib
to /etc/apt/sources.list

run:
sudo apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update

tried:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session=3.16.0-1

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome-session : Depends: gnome-session-bin (< 3.17) but 3.18.1.2-1 is to  
be installed
                 Depends: gnome-session-common (= 3.16.0-1) but 3.18.1.2-1  
is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I know I can add all the dependencies by hand, but maybe there is an easy  
solution.

Thanks,
