Bug#276700: epiphany-browser refuses to start

[Andreas Pakulat]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 1.2.8-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

I just installed epiphany-browser package and it won't start. I get a
message box saying that:

Bonobo couldn't locate the GNOME_Epiphany_Automation.server file. You
can use bonobo-activation-sysconf to configure the search path for
bonobo server files.

The file exists under /usr/lib/bonobo/servers but isn't added to
bonobo-activation stuff (I'm not familiar with this stuff, as I'm
using KDE). As you can see from:

morpheus:/home/andreas/temp>bonobo-activation-sysconf --display-directories
Bonobo-activation configuration file contains:

There are no Directorys here. IMHO the package should do this in
postinst script, but it fails to do so.

Thanks,
Andreas
