Package: libgnome-keyring0
Version: 2.20.1-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
grepping through the sources, the hard dependency of libgnome-keyring0 on
gnome-keyring is bogus. I agree that you need the daemon to actually use the
keyring but since gnome libs (including this one) are often only chained
dependencies for programs that never use the keyring, this would reduce
installation size for them.
It is extremely rare that a lib actually _requires_ a program to run.
Gnome-keyring is not such a case.
