Recent Cinnamon Updates break Extension(s)/Access to Control Centre

[ghost]

An update to a number of Cinnamon components last weekend result in the above issue.

Lookingglass log indicates the following as contributing to error:

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.cinnamon.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files

(Apologies if my reporting etiquette is non conventional, I don't 'do' Github!)

Have you checked if cinnamon-settings-daemon is installed?

Don't know if it's directly related to this issue or not but trying to open cinnamon settings(control-center) gave this output for me:

File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 730, in <module>
    window = MainWindow()
  File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py", line 309, in __init__
    for module in modules:
  File "/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_info.py", line 10, in <module>
    import distro
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distro'

Seems like python3-distro should be added as a dependency.

Thank you for your mutual responses.. In regard to ericonr's comments, I did check to determine whether cinnamon-settings-daemon was installed and can confirm it is/was..

Re not-chicken's recommendation I confirmed python3-distro wasn't in fact installed and after installing this and rebooting I was then able to once more gain access to the Control Centre. The residual warning notification re a broken extension etc. prevailed but as suspected that was a result of the sole extension I have installed presumably not having caught up with the upstream Cinnamon stuff and once disabled, disappeared on the next reboot.

As a result all sorted, thank you both! :-)
