syncpackage gives Python traceback on gnomekeyring.IOError

[Till Kamppeter]

When I run

syncpackage -d experimental c2esp

I get

----------
till@till:~/printing/cups/bzr$ syncpackage -d experimental c2esp

This happens on both Precise and Quantal.

The first Dependecies.txt attachment is from Precise, the second from Quantal.

I have checked the instructions in

/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-dev-tools/NEWS.Debian.gz

entry 0.119, but I am not SSHed in in both Precise and Quantal cases. Doing "export `dbus-launch`" anyway does not help, uninstalling python-gnomekeyring does not work as system-config-printer needs it.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

The problem was that on both systems gnome-keyring-daemon was not running (should be started on login). I started it with

gnome-keyring-daemon

so the problem in syncpackage is that it does not show a decent error message like "Do you have gnome-keyring-daemon running?" instead of throwing a backtrace.

Sounds more like launchpadlib's problem than syncpackage's. Reassigning

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Chris J Arges (arges)]

Works for me in raring, but I get the same failure in precise.
