Update on Kali breaks DTD

[gray-area]

When using the command as follows:

sudo apt-get upgrade

The update works, but upon reboot the DTD is gone. The following is what is working, and installed:

Package: gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock
Version: 69-1
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: gnome
Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers <pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>

Description: dash-to-dock extension for GNOME shell
 Dash to dock extension is an enhanced dash for GNOME Shell. It moves the
 default dash out of the overview and transforms it in a dock for an easier
 launching of applications and a faster switching between windows and
 workspaces without leaving the desktop view improving the workflow in your
 system.
 .
 It supports autohide and intellihide modes as well as a fixed mode.
 Optional features are available in the extension settings. The extension
 is themes friendly.

If you update Kali, it goes to this version and breaks:

I am having the same issue and it is very frustrating. I hadn't been on my Kali box in a while as I was using Parrot OS, but wanted to go back to the OG Kali Platform. Since it has been a while I had of course ran:

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade

When you open extensions there is a warning next to dash-to-dock. with the following error:

`The settings of extension dash-to-dock@micxgx.gmail.com had an error:

There is a new version of DTD that is out. However, this one is still broken when updating Kali.
