The GNOME developers have been trying to disentangle gnome-session,
gnome-settings-daemon etc. from X11, so that Xwayland is only started
when you need it - but it wouldn't surprise me if that needs fixes in
many components, which you probably don't have in a partial upgrade.

One of these relatively-closely-related libraries is 18 months older than
the other. Perhaps the missing versioned dependency involves ATK/AT-SPI?

This also looks suspicious to me: you're mixing up modules from versions
of Mesa released 2 years apart.
