Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
After a dist-upgrade, gnome shell got removed. After gnome-shell became
available for installation again, it installs cleanly again, but segfaults when
starting. Relevant error messare from /var/log/message:

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I do not know how to prevent gnome-shell from using libcogl in order to make
sure that it is indeed a libcogl problem rahter than a gnome-shell roblem.
