Bug#608893: epiphany-browser: Epiphany immediately crashes upon launching: Segmentation fault

Tue Jan 4 19:58:07 UTC 2011

Hello,

   Thank you for the reply.  I thought that I would start with the package that you suspected was the problem (libnspr4-0d)

Is this what you had in mind?  I wasn't sure if I should continue since aptitude wanted to remove xulrunner and downgrade iceweasel.

Could you have a look in dpkg.log at which packages were upgraded at
that time and downgrade the suspicious ones? They would be:

> ii  libcairo2           1.8.8-2~bpo50+1      The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra
> ii  libglib2.0-0        2.22.4-1~bpo50+1     The GLib library of C routines

My bets go to libnspr, since the xulrunner version in lenny loads a
different version of the library in the same address space.

Cheers,
