Package: libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0
Version: 2.50.4-1~deb12u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Since I did an apt update, epiphany-browser cannot start
due to illegal instruction (movq, which is part of SSE2).
I have an Athlon XP.

I can see in the git history that the SSE2 patch has been removed
because trixie requires SSE2, hence the patch is not needed anymore.
But I'm still on bookworm, and it still should work on bookworm.
Please, roll back the related git commits from 3 September 2025 in the
bookworm-security branch. Bookworm users without SSE2 should still have
a working browser until July 2028.

Thanks.
