Bug#841082: epiphany-browser: crash when trying to show desktop notifications

[Sergio Villar Senin]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 3.22.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

      Visit https://davidwalsh.name/demo/notifications-api.php and click on "Show a notification" button

   * What was the outcome of this action?

     The browser crashed. Launching it from the terminal allowed me to see this error.

     (epiphany:760): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.Epiphany.host' is not installed

     That's making the UI process crash as seen in this backtrace (no debug symbols but good enough)

     Thread 1 "epiphany" received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     Browser should show a permission request dialog.

     This is working fine on the MiniBrowser included in the package, so it's likely a configuration issue.
