Bug#1101061: gnome-keyring: After upgrade keyrings expected in .local/share/keyrings but were left in .gnome2/keyrings

[Drew Vogel]

Package: gnome-keyring
Version: 48~beta-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


It appears the upgrade of gnome-keyring-daemon does not always
account for the existance of keyring files. After upgrading
with apt dist-upgrade, I rebooted.

After reboot, multiple programs reported missing keyring entries.
Inspecting the keyring with seahorse, it was mostly empty. In
journalctl -eu gnome-keyring-daemon it said:

    keyring was in an invalid or unrecognized format:
        $HOME/.local/share/keyrings/default.keyring

I checked my backups and found no such file. Looking at older
reports, it appeared $HOME/.gnome2/keyrings was the expected dir.
That local dir had much larger keyring files.

I stopped gnome-keyring-daemon.{service,socket}. Then copied the
larger keyring files to the dir mentioned in the logs, overwriting
the ones there. I started gnome-keyring-daemon.{service,socket}
and re-ran seahorse. The expected entries were present.
