hello gnome users,
i have not done my d-u a few days, so it expectably is a bit bigger than usual:
188 upgraded, 15 newly installed, 26 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Attention: gnome-session, gnome-shell, gnome-control-center and evolution are among the removals. Setting some packages on hold reduces the removals.
# apt-mark hold gnome-session gnome-shell gnome-control-center evolution gnome-games gnibbles
gnome-session set on hold.
gnome-shell set on hold.
gnome-control-center set on hold.
evolution set on hold.
gnome-games set on hold.
gnibbles set on hold.
I'm still testing the results and will report back.
greetings

Feedback: With those holds (see above) i could dist-upgrade and got at least a working gnome desktop.
# apt-mark showhold
gnome-session gnome-shell gnome-control-center
evolution gnome-games gnibbles quadrapassel
# apt-get -dy dist-upgrade
The following packages have been kept back:
evolution evolution-common gir1.2-clutter-1.0 libclutter-1.0-0
libclutter-gst-1.0-0 libevolution
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
cheers

Another partly upgrade with breakage,
some additional packages arrived, and i only left evolution and gnome-control-center on hold.
Dist-upgrade went fine, but after reboot and login i have no panel. Desktops contextmenue allows for running terminal.
So better stay away from dist-upgrade for now.
[edit] today i reverted this snapshot in my testenvironment. After latest d-u the panel (or merely the opened menues) didn't accept mouseclicks or keyboard input. So better keep staying away from dist-upgrade for now. I 'll restart dist-upgrading from clean state (two days ago).
greetings
