Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Upon opening epiphany-browser (on a fresh install), epiphany opens a
page that displays just this:

File “/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales/index-C.html” not found.
Check the location of the file and try again.

No default homepage is shown..

I have seen this in the latest epiphany-browser in Jaunty 9.04
(2.26.1-0ubuntu1), and the behavior is yet the same after a dist-upgrade
to Karmic 9.10 (via update-manager), in epiphany-browser 2.26.1-0ubuntu3

If it matters, I have language-pack-en-base and language-pack-ar-base
installed (via language-support-ar) prior to installing epiphany-browser
(and prior to dist-upgrade via update-manager).

Tried to find the origin of this missing file, and why epiphany-browser
expects it to be there while it's not, but to no avail:

# dpkg -L ubuntu-artwork
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-artwork
/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-artwork/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-artwork/copyright
/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-artwork/changelog.gz
/usr/share/icons
/usr/share/icons/hicolor
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png
/usr/share/gconf
/usr/share/gconf/defaults
/usr/share/gconf/defaults/16_ubuntu-artwork

# find /usr/share -name index-C.html

# dpkg -S index-C.html
dpkg: *index-C.html* not found.

Then I went to http://packages.ubuntu.com to search for it:
In Jaunty: 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=jaunty&arch=any&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=index-C.html
In Karmic: 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=karmic&arch=any&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=index-C.html

However, the exact path epiphany-browser is looking for is simply not
there...

The only three index-C.html files found were in the following packages with the 
respective paths:
/usr/share/edubuntu-artwork/home/locales/index-C.html    edubuntu-artwork
/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales-ubuntu/index-C.html      ubuntu-docs
/usr/share/xubuntu-docs/about/locales/index-C.html      xubuntu-docs

Again, epiphany-browser is looking for "/usr/share/ubuntu-
artwork/home/locales/index-C.html", which no package provides with that
given path... IFF epiphany-browser was instead looking for "/usr/share
/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales-ubuntu/index-C.html", I would've suggested
that package "ubuntu-docs" should be added to the list of dependencies
for epiphany-browser...

Of course, one could simply change the homepage to anything they like
and won't be presented with this error again, unless they login as a
newuser (or remove their ~/.gnome2/epiphany directory) and rerun
epiphany, so this bug is trivial...
