Thanks everyone for all the responses. The package gnome-packagekit seems
like a good alternative for now, but ultimately I think reverting to stable
rather than testing may be the way forward for me.

Although i'm going to explore other desktop environments, too. Not sure
i'll be able to move away from MATE, though.

Lesson here is to pay attention when installing updates. Using synaptic, i
missed that synaptic itself was going to be uninstalled after updating haha.
