Hi, I'm not surprised, since there are different approaches on how to maintain computer software. The OP does use Manjaro. "Manjaro (/mænˈdʒɑːroʊ/) is a free and open-source Linux distribution based on the Arch Linux operating system. Manjaro has a focus on user- friendliness and accessibility, and the system itself is designed to work fully "straight out of the box" with its variety of pre-installed software." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manjaro I'm using Arch Linux and can't comment on Manjaro. As almost all Arch users I don't want that things work automagically, since I want to control my Linux. Maybe Manjaro does adopt original Arch Linux packages that aren't intended to be user-friendly. "Whereas many GNU/Linux distributions attempt to be more user-friendly, Arch Linux has always been, and shall always remain user-centric. [...] It is targeted at the proficient GNU/Linux user, or anyone with a do-it- yourself attitude who is willing to read the documentation, and solve their own problems." - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Linux#User_centrality So let's take a look at the documentation. "Using Evolution outside of GNOME Evolution relies on GNOME Keyring for storing account passwords, so to use Evolution outside of GNOME, see GNOME/Keyring#Using [1] the keyring and make sure a password keyring with the name login exists. " - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Evolution#Using_Evolution_outside_of_GNOME [1] "[...] When using a display manager, the keyring works out of the box for most cases. [...]" - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring#Using_the_keyring If not, continue to read the documentation. To understand that approach, don't think too much like a desktop computer user without niche needs. As an example, imagine you need hard real-time capabilities. If so, you e.g. don't want that each package containing a service, does automatically start that service. However, as to understand how dependencies are handled by Arch Linux, read the documentation and if appropriate, report a missing dependency https://bugs.archlinux.org/ . Manjaro probably provides a bug tracker, too. I suspect that Manjaro is kind of an Arch Linux based Ubuntu alike Linux distro ;) and maybe the maintainers are using Arch Linux PKGBUILDs and sometimes miss to edit them, to make the packages "user-friendly".
