Public bug reported:

Yesterday’s multiarch of accountsservice 0.6.35-0ubuntu3 (bug 1260370)
broke the gdm greeter, making it impossible to log in.  From
/var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log:

(gnome-shell:1981): Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: Error: Requiring AccountsService, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'AccountsService' (any version) not found
@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/endSessionDialog.js:25
@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/main.js:15
@<main>:1

In order to work around this, I had to symlink
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/AccountsService-1.0.typelib -> /usr/lib/x86_64
-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0/AccountsService-1.0.typelib.

As far as I can tell, gir has no multiarch support (see e.g.
http://bugs.debian.org/720071), so the typelib needs to be moved back
into /usr/lib/girepository-1.0 and ‘Multi-Arch: same’ needs to be
dropped.
