Bug Description

There have been a number of users reporting crashes in ubiquity when the slideshow appears (bug 445756, bug 441709, bug 448252, bug 440922, bug 442560, bug 450744). After some investigation, we've determined the cause to be webkit performing an unknown instruction on AMD hardware (see Debian bug 548339). Webkit 1.1.15.2-1 (a bug fix only release) in Debian fixes this bug. It also fixes the cause for our delta against Debian, thus the sync request.

Successful install attempts with the newer version of Webkit.
