So last night I inadvertently left my laptop unplugged and it shut
down when the battery ran low.

This morning I rebooted it and conkeror wouldn't run.  More precisely,

xulrunner /usr/local/src/conkeror/application.ini 

causes a Segmentation fault without any other messages.

I've tried a lot of things during the course of the day, but no matter
what I do, I still get the Segmentation fault. Here's what I tried: 

1) Upgrading Conkeror, via  
cd /usr/local/src/conkeror; git fetch; git merge origin

2) upgrading Ubuntu (from 10.04 to 11.04 in two steps, via 
sudo do-release-upgrade)

3) Upgrading xulrunner, via 
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install xulrunner-2.0 xulrunner-2.0-dev 
xulrunner-2.0-gnome-support xulrunner-dev
(The installed version is now Mozilla XULRunner 2.0 - 20110402003021 )

4) Replacing Conkeror altogether, via
rm -f -r  /usr/local/src/conkeror; git clone git://repo.or.cz/conkeror.git  

5) According to http://conkeror.org/InstallationDebian, 
"The easiest way to use Conkeror [under Ubuntu 11:04] is to add the
  PPA at https://launchpad.net/~xtaran/+archive/conkeror:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xtaran/conkeror"
The page doesn't say what to next -- I assumed it would be
"sudo apt-get install conkeror" but this replies with 
E: Unable to locate package conkeror


Any ideas, either for identifying the cause of the Segmentation fault
or for installing a fresh conkeror?

Thanks,

Silvio
