In order to separate the upgrade issues, I just did a fresh Cauldron 
GNOME install in a VBox VM, and tried to log in.

I get the flat (not striped) blue background, probably because your 
dependency fix hasn't come through yet, and I see the "Activity     
Date     Username" flash briefly at the top of the screen and then 
disappear.  If you leave it that way, every 5 or 10 seconds the "Oops, 
something went wrong" screen flashes and disappears.

If I try to install gnome-themes-standard, I get conflicts with 
gnome-themes-2.32, which has been pulled in by epiphany-2.32.  Removing 
gnome-themes-2.32 (along with epiphany) allows gnome-themes-standard to 
install cleanly, at which point I get exactly the same behavior but with 
a blue striped background.

The only error I can find is in /var/log/messages, and says 
"gnome-session: Warning - application gnome-shell.desktop failed to 
register before timeout".  There is no mention in dmesg of libnsl or gnome.

In short, the libnsl issue seems to be upgrade-related, but everything 
else is just broken out-of-the-box.

If you try to reproduce this, you have to use 128K video memory and 
enable 3D acceleration in VBox, otherwise you get "fallback" mode, which 
appears to work fine.
