Details

gdm, gnome-shell and other packages (mplayer, for example) are looking for libjson-c.so.2 on start, and as of json-c-0.13-1 that file doesn't exist anymore. I mitigated it by symlinking libjson-c.so.3 to libjson-c.so.2 but that is probably not the proper way to solve this issue.

Tried to get some info from journalctl, but it's unfortunately already lost in the backlog :(

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  This is because of a partial update and/or unsupported packages. The symlink was a horrible idea, too.
