Indeed, the Debian extension package hasn't worked for a while as stated
in README.Debian[0].   However, when I built  it from git,  it seemed to
work fine.  Last time I had a look at this issue, as the upstream author
was not replying,  I had some help from Epiphany  guys though.  Have you
tried to debug it using GDB?

BTW, why have you cross-posted  this bug report to the upstream bugzilla
and the BTS?

Maybe  I  should hand  over  maintainership  of  gwget to  someone  else
because, as shown by the last uploads, I clearly don't have time to take
enough care of it. Would you like to take it over? If not, I will simply
submit a RFA...

Arnaud Fontaine
