After automatic upgrade from Tails 2.5 to 2.6, keyboard and mouse stop working

Reported by several users, some even from Tails 2.6rc~1. I could not reproduce:

Steps to reproduce

- Start Tails 2.5

- Update automatically
- Restart

Keyboard and mouse don’t work when in Tails Greeter, so it is impossible to log in.

The problem can be solved doing a manual upgrade:
