Thanks.

It looks like you are missing glib, glibc and gobject-introspection debugging
symbols (libglib2.0-0-dbg libgirepository-1.0-1-dbgsym libc6-dbg). It'd be good
to get a backtrace with those.

Also this looks like a deadlock in webkit. Maybe you can try with webkit 2.15.4
from experimental? If it still happens, I can forward this upstream.

BTW I'm downgrading this bug as this seems very rare (at least on buildds) and
we shouldn't block the release on this.

Cheers,
Emilio
