Description:
When sending a new email in Evolution and gpg asks for a passphrase, the mail passwords stored in the gnome-keyring are deleted) Additional info: * package version(s) evolution 2.22.1-1 evolution-data-server 2.22.1-1 gnupg 1.4.9-1 seahorse 2.22.1-1 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start a new gnome-session (so no passphrase is kept in memory) 2. Open evolution 3. Download email (check that passwords are still stored in gnome-keyring) 4. Write a new email without pgp signing it and send it 5. Download email (check that passwords are still stored in gnome-keyring) 6. Write a new email and sign it with pgp 7. After inserting the passphrase, you are asked for the smtp password, and the gnome-keyring (see it with seahorse) is empty |

Just to make things clearer :
Context :
1- You set a gpg key with seahorse/gnome-keyring.
2- You set a mail account with Evolution with a password.
3- You set a smtp account with Evolution with a password.
Usecase :
1- You write an email
2- You sign your email with gpg : your password is needed because it is the first time you open gnome-keyring (new session).
3- You send the email, the smtp password is asked.
4- After you entered the smtp password something is erased from gnome-keyring.
WHAT is erased ? The GPG key ? A password, but which password : the mail account, the smtp accout or the gpg key password ?
What are the consequences of this removal ? Which behavior would you expect ?
Also it is not obvious this problem is due to Arch. It sounds more like an upstream bug ...
Thank you very much for giving more information.
For some reason he did not put a reference back here.
Howevere refering to Gnome's bug tracker this is already occuring in Ubuntu. Also notice there are a lot of gpg related bugs opened for Evolution.
I am requesting a closure as an upstream bug, unless somebody highlight a problem specific to Arch ...
