Bug Description
Binary package hint: libpam-keyring
Back in the edgy and dapper days I had installed libpam-keyring from source.
I run xubuntu.
I just installed the package from the repos (thanks to whoever finally did that).
It required installing like 50 packages, including gnome-user-guide of all things.
Now, I know it probably depends on gnome-keyring (which I had installed obviously) but there has to be a way to make this package not depend on gnome-session.
If whoever ends up handling this could post why this happened, I'd be happy to try to fix this myself. Those of us who use xubuntu would appreciate being able to install parts of gnome without the whole thing, the keyring being a big useful part.

I just rebuilt the package with the depends changed from gnome-session >= 2.10 to gnome-keyring- manager >= 2.17 (the latest in feisty).
Given that build-depends does not need gnome, and that I saw no output suring configure to indicate any issues, I think a patch for this is that simple:
--- Depends: gnome-session (>= 2.10) manager (>= 2.17)
+++ Depends: gnome-keyring-
Can someone please try building it and installing it this way running ubuntu (i.e. gnome) and be sure it works as expected?
If not, perhaps we can have two packages... libpam-keyring and libpam- keyring- nognome or something like that.
