[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Both next and epiphany are very broken for me after the upgrade to
webkitgtk to 2.26.1.

I first noticed when running core-updates, but then also tested on
master (de3896fb79984d545e7fec0b5e4f1ba37983fbce) with the same result.

I don't have a capture of the "next" browser output handy, but it wasn't
working either.

I also tried building without grafts, just in case, but no difference.


Reverting the following commit causes both browsers to work again.

    gnu: WebKitGTK: Update to 2.26.1.

    * gnu/packages/webkit.scm (webkitgtk-2.24): Rename to ...
    (webkitgtk-2.26): ... this.  Update to 2.26.1.
    [inputs]: Add BUBBLEWRAP, LIBSECCOMP, LIBWPE, WPEBACKEND-FDO, and
    XDG-DBUS-PROXY.
    * gnu/packages/gnome.scm (eolie, epiphany)[inputs]: Adjust for
    changed
    variable name.
    * gnu/packages/web-browsers.scm (next-gtk-webkit)[inputs]: Likewise.


Maybe libwpe and/or wpebackend-fdo aren't added in (all) the correct
place(s)?


live well,
