[Bug 859600] Re: Please convert gnome-keyring to multiarch

OK. Everyone, just relax. First of all, this bug is not for the p11kit
issue. That bug is #1094319 as clearly mentioned in the changelog entry.
This bug is specifically about enabling Multi-Arch for the gnome-keyring
source package, so that some of its binaries may be co-installable as
needed. While I had fixed both bugs at the same time in Raring, they are
not the same issue.

And on top of that, the gcr source package being converted to Multi-Arch
is another separate issue. Please do not conflate them all into being
the same bug. They are separate issues, even if they have dependencies
on one another.

The update issue is another issue on top of those, which will also need
to be carefully considered, and which means all of these fixes will need
to be SRUed into Quantal first, indeed. Or we simply maintain the status
quo in Precise and Quantal for these 3 issues, as it is a non-fatal
issue, and only a slight annoyance, only when using certain software
which requires use of 32-bit pieces while running on 64-bit. I see no
good reason to force N complex updates upon the user base, to fix a very
minor annoyance (which isn't this bug anyway).

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Several applications are relying on this package as seen in comments 5 and 6.

  [Test case]
  Attempt to install both i386/amd64 versions of libp11-kit-gnome-keyring and preferably verify if the reported applications in this bug are able to run successfully.

  1. Run the command 'wine notepad'. Notice the warning from p11-kit.
  2. sudo apt-get install libp11-kit-gnome-keyring:i386
  3. Run the command 'wine notepad' again. Notice that the warning is gone.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal, several rdepends build testing have been completed successfully and nothing in the keyring code is attempting to dlopen any hardcoded library paths.

  gnome-keyring is still installing libraries to /usr/lib instead of the
  multarch compatible /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) directory. The
  attached patch does the conversion.
