Bug#649408: "WARNING: gnome-keyring:: no socket to connect to" breaks CUPS lpd support

[sacrificial-spam-address at horizon.com]

severity 649408 critical
affects 649408 cups

"makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) break"

I don't know what the HELL a gnome component has to do with Berkeley lpd
protocol support, but I just finished figuring out that not only does
this stupid warning message appear every time I ask "lpq", but it confuses
cups-lpd to the point that it doesn't accept print jobs on port 515.

Which led to a print queue backlog I just finished debugging.

(Arguably, the dependency is a CUPS bug, and if you want to shout at
Apple for writing an overcomplicated impenetrable mess with inadequate
debugging support, I'll hand you the megaphone.  But still.)

Applying Karol Kozlpwski's workaround (editing
/etc/pkcs11/modules/gnome-keyring-module to comment out the line
"module: gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so"
makes printing start working again.
(CAUTION: You may NOT save a .dpkg-dist file in the same directory;
it will be read and parsed and lead to the same error.)


Actually, I found a better workaround: uninstall gnome-keyring!  It came
in via a Recommends: somehow, but libgnome-keyring0 sure doesn't need
it and nuking the entire package solves the problem very nicely, too.
