Description:
After upgrading to the newest version and a reboot my DE can't load my settings. Luckily a could start a terminal and start cinnamon-settings and choosing the theme's settings I get the following error in the terminal: Loading Themes module [Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden: '/home/dominik/.themes/Zukitwo-Cinnamon/metadata.json' Skipping Zukitwo-Cinnamon: there was a problem trying to read metadata.json [Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden: '/home/dominik/.themes/Smooth-white/metadata.json' Skipping Smooth-white: there was a problem trying to read metadata.json [Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden: '/home/dominik/.themes/ceres/metadata.json' Skipping ceres: there was a problem trying to read metadata.json [Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden: '/home/dominik/.themes/Smoothie/metadata.json' Skipping Smoothie: there was a problem trying to read metadata.json [Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden: '/home/dominik/.themes/New-Minty32/metadata.json' Skipping New-Minty32: there was a problem trying to read metadata.json After downgrading the package and rebooting, everything is back to normal.

I thought this bug report is linked to the package.
I was going to fix upstream to not be broken, while flat-out skipping this entire release, per discussion in the linuxmint slack channel. But only once I got home today.
Apparently now we have confirmation that my initial analysis from my mobile connection of the relevant commits is correct!
It's linked only if you use the link on the package details page to create a new bug. That will auto-fill the bug title with the name of the package.
Currently rolling out an immediate update containing this patch. Result: the critical program files in /usr/lib/cinnamon-settings-daemon/ are no longer broken symlinks pointing to themselves, but are actually, well, files. (And programs, even.)
