Bug#872762: gnome-keyring: SSH_AUTH_SOCK set to /run/user/$UID/keyring/ssh but ssh component not running

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 3.20.1-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm faced with the problem that something (I suspect gnome-keyring, so
that's where the bug report is against) sets SSH_AUTH_SOCK:

	uwe at taurus:~$ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK 
	/run/user/1000/keyring/ssh

but that file does not exist:

	uwe at taurus:~$ ls -l /run/user/1000/
	total 0
	srw-rw-rw- 1 uwe uwe   0 Aug 20 23:48 bus
	drwx------ 2 uwe uwe  60 Aug 20 23:52 dconf
	drwx------ 3 uwe uwe  60 Aug 20 23:48 gnome-shell
	drwx------ 2 uwe uwe 140 Aug 20 23:48 gnupg
	dr-x------ 2 uwe uwe   0 Aug 20 23:48 gvfs
	drwx------ 2 uwe uwe  80 Aug 20 23:48 pulse
	drwxr-xr-x 3 uwe uwe 100 Aug 20 23:48 systemd
	srwxr-xr-x 1 uwe uwe   0 Aug 20 23:48 wayland-0
	-rw-r----- 1 uwe uwe   0 Aug 20 23:48 wayland-0.lock

The only suspect I have is

	uwe at taurus:~$ ps -f -p 14961
	UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
	uwe      14961     1  0 23:48 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login

although this should not set SSH_AUTH_SOCK.

I disabled gnome-keyring using
~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-{pkcs11,secrets,ssh}.desktop with
Hidden=true.

For now I have to do:

	SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh ssh myhost

to make make use of gpg-agent that I prefer to manage my ssh-key stuff.
So this is related to #623539, but I felt this is different enough to
justify a new report.

Best regards
Uwe
