epiphany crashing[solved]

Epiphany crashes when a tab is closed, and also when closing the window (that is, the gnome 'this application has crashed' dialogue comes up).

I've just run pacman -Syu, and the error messages from the console look python related (which was upgraded to 2.5).  It could also be to do with a few parts of the new Gnme release being updated, I presume.

Just wondering whether I should bother to file a bug report, or should I just wait until gnome 2.18 updates are complete?  (If this is going to be more than a few days I'll have to install firefox in the meantime, I suppose).
Also, if there's anything I can do about this in the mean time - here's the ouput on the console from opening epiphany, opening a new tab and then crashing it by closing the new tab.  Should I set the environment variables it mentions perhaps?

$ epiphany
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated.

Try  rebuilding epiphany-extensions. If that fix it, submit a bug report.

Re: epiphany crashing[solved]

The packages were upgraded almost as soon as I posted this, so it seems I should have been a bit more patient.
