[Bug 1241881] [NEW] gnome-keyring depends on transitional package libgcr-3-1

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Logan Rosen (logan):

According its package description, libgcr-3-1 version 3.8.2-4 in Saucy
Salamander is a transitional package that should be safe to remove.
However, an attempt to remove the package reveals that gnome-keyring
(version 3.8.2-0ubuntu3) depends on it. I cannot tell if removing the
dependency from gnome-keyring was forgotten or libgcr-3-1 has been
wrongfully marked as transitional, but the latter seems highly unlikely.
Either way this is a problem that should be fixed.

[Test Case]
Install the gnome-keyring package, and then try removing the transitional libgcr-3-1 package. It forces the removal of gnome-keyring, even though gnome-keyring should depend on libgcr-base-3-1 instead.

[Regression Potential]
None. This is just a simple dependency change.
