Software Boutique stopped working Mate 17.10

Help please. Updates all done & Welcome removed and re-installed, but soon as Software Boutique is selected, everything disappears. Thank You. Dave

Same here, run Welcome from the terminal and Boutique crashes it listing a bunch of errors. At least I get to find out what segmentation fault means…

Hello all.
We’re aware of this, and you can track this issue using the following bug report:

Ok Thank you. So it’s going to be fixed…sometime?

Yes. Software Boutique is a critical component of Ubuntu MATE.
You can expect this issue to be solved before Artful reaches Beta 1.

Seems to be a regression in the WebKitGTK library,. I’ve filed a bug report upstream.

A workaround has been applied for now so Welcome/Boutique will work in the next update until the root problem is fixed.
