Description:
As reported in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=867943

The libgnome-keyring library is deprecated and its usage is strongly
discouraged [1].

Your package mysql-workbench declares a build-dependency on
libgnome-keyring-dev or links against libgnome-keyring0.

Please update your application to use libsecret instead [2].

Please update your application to use libsecret [2].

Hello Dmitry,

Thank you for the report and feedback!

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Workbench 8.0.12 release, and here's the changelog entry:

libgnome-keyring was depreciated and replaced with libsecret in this
release on Linux platforms. Some users with existing stored passwords will
be prompted to enter a password after upgrading.

Thank you for the bug report.

I am a KDE Plasma user.  I do not use gnome-keyring and never did.

I was not prompted to enter new passwords after upgrading.  Instead I am now unable to read, write or clear passwords (making the product unusable).

I get the following error:

Remote error from secret service: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error. ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files.

Is support for KWallet broken?

Do I have to install the now deprecated gnome-keyring?

An quick search for "The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files" suggests that libsecrets is a front-end for gnome-keyring and that KWallet does not support org.freedesktop.secrets.

I don't want to install gnome-keyring.  Do I have to stop using the product?
