Epiphany-webkit (karmic repos) crashes on start with "symbol lookup error"

[Jonathan Reeve]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

When I start Epiphany-webkit, it asks if I want to restore previously open tabs, then after I choose "recover" or "don't recover," crashes with this message:

epiphany-webkit: symbol lookup error: epiphany-webkit: undefined symbol: soup_password_manager_gnome_get_type

This only happens with the new version, 2.27.91 which was released into the repos today (Karmic Alpha 5). Everything worked (well, with the exception of some extensions) using the previous version, 2.27.5.
