Bug Description
Impact
------
There is a new bugfix release in the stable 42 series.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
GNOME Shell is the heart of the Ubuntu desktop experience.
A severe enough bug could mean that people are unable to use their desktop version of Ubuntu.
Smaller bugs could interrupt people's workflows.
GNOME Shell is included in the GNOME micro release exception

Other Info
----------
This update requires mutter 42.9 (LP: #1998286). This was done with bumped dependencies in debian/control. gnome-shell 42.9 could be run with mutter 42.5, but mixing different versions of mutter & gnome-shell is not supported upstream.
WARNING
-------
Because of an apt phasing issue (LP: #2025462), gnome-shell 42.9 must NOT be released to updates until mutter 42.9 has been released to jammy-updates and has fully phased.
