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

[Thomas Klute]

I think it should match the "obviously safe patch" item in the "When"
section. I've used ldd to check that gnome-keyring on my system (amd64)
is linked against  the libgcr-base lib instead of the older libgcr. If
any other packet still uses libgcr, it should be in that packet's
dependency list, which has nothing to do with gnome-keyring.

Title:
  gnome-keyring depends on transitional package libgcr-3-1

Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
