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. $ guix describe Generation 240 Sep 27 2019 20:47:30 (current) guix 60643d1 repository URL: file:///home/vagrant/src/guix commit: 60643d1b1930c54789c8262ae68457fe0c85fae0 $ guix package -I epiphany epiphany 3.30.4 out /gnu/store/vc6caa4n1jkqkvzjg03d9j5m93k8g6g0-epiphany-3.30.4 $ epiphany ** (epiphany:16759): WARNING **: 21:18:10.796: webkit_web_context_set_web_process_count_limit is deprecated and d wpe_loader_init could not load the library 'libWPEBackend-fdo-1.0.so': libWPEBackend-fdo-1.0.so: cannot open shar wpe: could not load the impl library.

I also tried building without grafts, just in case, but no difference. Reverting the following commit causes both browsers to work again. commit 689b44bc3fe50de86c8c8b8c2ac503b2e82d7975 Author: Marius Bakke Date: Thu Sep 26 16:40:45 2019 +0200 gnu: WebKitGTK: Update to 2.26.1. * gnu/packages/webkit.scm (webkitgtk-2.24): Rename to ...
