Hmm, those three shouldn't be the guilty party.
Here's a bug report from the redhat bugtracker that details what kind of goofiness you can expect from corrupt hdd sectors/hard powerdowns:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488449#c11
I'd check your logs to see if there is anything about "cleaning up orphan inodes" or such, meaning that it lost part of or a whole file. nothing
First, clean your pacman cache, just in case one of the cached packages got corrupted. pacman -Scc
Done
To get you back running, first try reinstalling libwebkit, desktop-file-utils, and libnotify. Those are the three depends in common between midori and epiphany.
So I think we can rule out desktop-file-utils. Brasero, Gimp, and Firefox depend on this and they work. I'm not sure if libnotify and libwebkit should be suspect either at this point because I've discovered that soffice and gnome-settings-daemon do this as well now.
Then try to resync the base group: (I do this every time I have a sudden poweroff and orphaned inodes) pacman -Scc pacman -Syy base base-devel (base-devel if you compile stuff regularly or use the AUR/ABS)
Did that.
If that doesn't work, try reinstalling midori and epiphany.
Did that.
If that fails, try reinstalling all the deps of midori, epiphany, and any other program that throws a segfault in ld
And if that fails? Well, I'm out of ideas then. Keep us posted.
I'm out of ideas too, because they still segfault. Crap. I guess I could reinstall the system, but doesn't seem like the way to go here. I have X working with wmii. I just have nasty looking window decorations and random productivity Applications that don't work. Is there a way to de-install everything that's NOT in base? I looked around for this, and will I could certainly create a command line chain for it something like "pacman -R --all !base" would be nice -- Chris
