Bug Description
I found that on some pages, Epiphany crashes. An example of such a page:
http://
Firefox does not crash on this page.
Epiphany prints this message when it crashes:
/usr/bin/epiphany: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/
Looking at the libcairo changelogs, I saw a mention of a removed patch the name of which suggests a connection. A bit of Googling turned up the Debian changelog, which mentions a change in libfreetype6. Upgrading libfreetype6 from 2.1.7-2.4ubuntu1 to 2.1.10-1 fixed the problem.
I think recent versions of libcairo2 should tighten their dependency against libfreetype6.
