Bug#565257: epiphany-browser: Does not start

[Domenico Cufalo]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.29.5-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

As in subject...
Same problem a few days ago in Ubuntu Karmic. Cf. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8626026&postcount=3
Downgrade as described in ubuntu forum did not solve the problem.

Here's the output from terminal:
