Bug Description

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Sometimes after updating to Hardy, ephy started failing to run with the following error:

epiphany-browser: error while loading shared libraries: libplds4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing libnspr4-dev solved the problem, but the right thing would be to make sure to load the installed library rather than the development symlink.

I can confirm this issue and have had it since early in the Hardy cycle. Installing libnspr4-dev does "fix" it.

I can also confirm the bug report and the workaround on Hardy ( installing libnspr4-dev ). Therefore, I set the Status to Triaged.
