Some usuability bugs about the gnome-keyring have been reported as duplicates of this bug as well.
In general, I would rather expect arguments for _not_ using the latest package. Upstream usually have good reasons to create a new version. They add functionality and bug-fixes. I'm a bit surprised that the proposed default here is to stick with the old package _again_. (this dates back to dapper) In this case, it concerns stuff like not having to provide a default password for the keyring, nor being asked to supply one. Especially for laptop users, this fixes many crucial annoyances. -- RFE: Update pam to 0.99 or greater https://launchpad.net/bugs/43169 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
