Yes - I read your comments.
Also the one where you prefer fixes to workarounds - Linux is all about workarounds ![]()
If you check the Branch compare for Manjaro web and search for webkit2 you will find that all related packages was updated the same day.
Another topic referring to back-in-time issue on Arch forum and eventually the Arch bugtracker
The webkit greeter was a project of Antergos and the project is not developed anymore (archived)
Comment on Arch bugtracker with reference to the webkit-greeter
Edit: I think project is abandonned, repository is readonly, I will switch to lightdm-gtk-greeter, this one works
– FS#70099 : [gobject-introspection] lightdm-webkit2-greeter fails to run now since gobject-introspection update
This brings me back to my statement on theme maintenance as the greeter is depending on the Gnome theme API which has changed and is a likely cause for the greeter to fail.
