clean install of gutsy and gajim throws a gnomekeyring.DeniedError

[Stephan Rügamer]

Binary package hint: gajim

When you have a clean install of gutsy (or gnome) and start up gajim, it will throw an gnomekeyring.DeniedError.

Please find attached a debdiff which fixes this problem.
This problem is known upstream, and is applied to 0.11.2, which is not released.

I'll mail our package maintainer to apply the fix to bzr-branch, but you should upload this package fix.

Séb: can you check the patch and upload if it's ok?

Hi,

as discusses with Daniel, a bit of explanation:

As discussed in this bugreport of pygtk http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363019 it looks
like that the python implementation lacked of proper return values of some gnome-keyring bindings.
This should be fixed in (what) version (hopefully 2.11.0-0ubuntu1 which is in gutsy).

But during the time of being not fixed, gajim had some problems with it. When there is no default keyring (which happens when you have a new install or no app ever requested something from gnome-keyring), gajim failed to create a default keyring, therefore it couldn't find any default keyring. This problem throws an gnomekeyring.DeniedError, which wasn't handled.
Changeset 8701 (http://trac.gajim.org/changeset/8701) fixes this, not nicely, but it fixes it for this time. Hopefully, gajim upstream, or we (Ubuntu) are able to create a default keyring, when there is no one and gajim is the first app ever started to need one.

Nafallo updated our bzr tree already with this patch for gutsy, and hopefully will upload this, if not, Daniel or Sebastien, could you do the upload?

Thx,

\sh
