[Bug 1172964] Re: check-new-release-gtk crashed with ImportError in build_ui(): cannot import name WebKit

[Erick Brunzell]

I've been following up on this at the Lubuntu QA mailing list and it
appears that this effects both Lubuntu and Xubuntu at least as far back
as Oneiric.

I'm not suggesting that Brian change anything regarding this report yet,
but I plan on following up further in Saucy ................... it's
obviously time we fix this :^)

If anyone desires they can find the Lubuntu QA discussion here:

Title:
  check-new-release-gtk crashed with ImportError in build_ui(): cannot
  import name WebKit

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  check-new-release-gtk will crash on a stock Lubuntu system because
  gir1.2-webkit-3.0 is not installed and the import of WebKit will fail.
  gir1.2-webkit-3.0 is recommended by ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk,
  however it seems that lubuntu doesn't install recommends by default.
  This only affects release upgrades in that the release announcement is
  shown in plain text instead of html.
