I could restore the old state by running
sudo apt install gnome-shell-common=42.9-0ubuntu2.1
sudo apt install gnome-shell ubuntu-desktop gdm3
gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
chrome-gnome-shell ubuntu-session gnome-shell-extension-manager
gnome-sh
Public bug reported:
After running the Software Updater app, the GUI disappears and I only
have terminal access. The cause seems to be gnome-shell-common
42.9-0ubuntu2.2 being marked as incompatible with gdm3.
cat /var/log/apt/history.log
