This is probably because you hardcoded Gnome in Keyring configuration file,
however that backend was removed in Keyring 8.x (moved to keyrings.alt package).

The recommeneded alternative is to install python-secretstorage and let Keyring
use the default secretstorage-based backend instead (which is compatible with
GNOME Keyring too).
