Package: evolution-data-server
Version: 3.56.2-7
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I use KDE on my system. And I need bluetooth. bluedevil => bluez-obexd 
=> evolution-data-server pulls in GNOME-KEyring which in turn starts 
gcr-ssh-agent which is extremely hard to get rid of (I want the 
ssh-agent from OpenSSH).

Is it possible that evolution-data-server would relax its dependency on 
gnome-keyring to a Recommends? I would appreciate that.

Thank you.

Greetings
Marc
