Sorry for the delay and confusion. I was away for most of the last two weeks.

It looks like a few things happened:

1. The security team inserted an update which took precedence over the PPA. This is normal and correct. Just unlucky timing that I was away at the same time AND the debdiff in comment #42 didn't get attention for a month (also because much of the team are travelling).

2. Some people had packages automatically removed. I'm not sure what caused this, it might have been the PPA or more likely might have been all the manual hacking that's gone on here. And rightfully so -- it was a bit of an emergency bug. But I've just tested upgrades to 42.9-0ubuntu8 in a fresh VM and cannot reproduce any upgrade issues. It might be a good idea if everyone just purges the PPA and manually installs the 42.9-0ubuntu8 packages...

3. People mistakenly install/upgrade 'mutter'/'mutter-common' alone when really it's 'libmutter-10-0' that provides the fix. E.g. comment #96.

Overall it looks like the fix is sound and jammy has been verified by comments #98 and #99.
