Installed missing pre-update packages and then updated mga5 x86_64. What now? webkit is described as a browser in some documentation but how is it launched? There are no obvious commands in /usr/bin; webkit(3)-gtklauncher does not work nor webkit{1,3}.

Mageia 5 on HP Probook 6555b KDE No installation issues. Found (a.o.) midori as having a dependency on these libraries. used "strace -o webkit.txt midori" and can confirm that the libs are used while browsing the Mageia website.
