Package: subversion
Version: 1.10.0-1
Severity: important

After updating subversion to the current version, it has stopped using GNOME
Keyring.

`svn --version` also only lists
* Plaintext cache in $HOME/.subversion
* GPG-Agent
* KWallet (KDE)

as supported credential caches.

Performing an authenticated operation now prompts for an SVN password each time
(as opposed to a once-only request for the password to use to unlock the
keyring) and then reports

** Message: Remote error from secret service:
org.freedesktop.Secret.Error.IsLocked: Cannot create an item in a locked
collection

before continuing with the SVN operation.

The reporting appears to be broken regardless of whether GNOME Keyring
support is used.

It's trying to use the keyring, but the keyring is locked. Based on
that, I would assume you have something installed (likely the
gnome-keyring package) which provides
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.secrets.service.

I'm not sure how one normally unlocks the keyring, but it seems like
libpam-gnome-keyring may be useful here. Is that installed?

Cheers,
