-- no debconf information

I do not have the whole gnome desktop installed, but use epiphany.
Epiphany fails to start with the following error:

(epiphany-browser:7968): Gnome-WARNING **: Accessibility: failed to find
module 'libgail' which is needed to make this application accessible
**
ERROR:accessible.c:556:spi_accessible_construct: assertion failed: (o)
Aborted

I resolved the error by simply installing libgail-common. I do have
libgail-gnome-module installed, but that doesn't seem to be enough.
