Package: gnome-shell
Version: 2.91.5-1
Severity: grave
Tags: experimental
Justification: renders package unusable

Hello.

Today I've upgraded gnome-shell from 2.91.3-2 to 2.91.5-1. And as the
2.91.3-2 version (kinda) worked the 2.91.5-1 version doesn't.

ike at macbook:~$ gnome-shell -r
mutter: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-3.0.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My little investigation shows that according to this:
http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libgtk-x11-3.0.so.0&mode=filename&suite=experimental&arch=any

library is in libgtk3.0-0 package and I have this package installed:
macbook:~# apt-cache policy libgtk3.0-0
libgtk3.0-0:
  Installed: 2.99.2-1
  Candidate: 2.99.2-1

however file list for amd64 doesn't show this file:
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/amd64/libgtk3.0-0/filelist

How can I help to make gnome-shell usable again?

Kind regards,
