Bug#971345: libwebkit2gtk: The Epiphany doesn't work anymore after the libwebkit2gtk-4.0

[Andreas Kohlbach]

Package: libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
Version: 2.38.5-1~deb11u1
Followup-For: Bug #971345
X-Debbugs-Cc: ank at spamfence.net

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Staring the Epiphany browser.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Just starting the browser.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Browser hangs and the console logs

(WebKitWebProcess:2): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 12:46:14.244: g_dbus_connection_get_unique_name: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

(epiphany:7717): epiphany-WARNING **: 12:46:14.258: Web process crashed

Please note the last update on Stable was the 17.02.2023, the day it stopped working. This was 11 days ago.

Same problem on Debian Testing.

This might also just be an incompability on Epiphany after the lib-webkit-update, so the browser is the problem instead?

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

A working browser.
