The old "shell" for gnome-control-center is still installed for now. So as a workaround, you can run

gnome-control-center-alt

Only one gnome-control-center can run at a time so make sure you close one before trying to run the other.

Changed in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → High
status: New → Confirmed
