Description: glib2 2.70 breaks gnome-keyring 1:40.0-1.

Downgrading to glib2 2.68 "fixes" issue.

OR, keeping glib2 2.70 but compiling gnome-keyring without libcap-ng "fixes" issue.

What exactly breaks? It seems to work fine for me.

@heftig
It's explained in the Gentoo link above.

How it manifests itself is that the agent no longer starts gnome-keyring properly, libsecret / secret-tool, seahorse, etc., no longer work, it breaks the whole chain of apps which uses gnome-keyring....
So far, I've chosen to update glib2 to latest version BUT recompile gnome-keyring "--without-libcap-ng" and that works.
Let me know if this should be a gnome-keyring bug instead of a glib2 bug, perhaps. I am not sure which way to go here. I just need this to be addressed.

NOTE: at the time of posting the bug, I was using glib2.2.70 and gnome-keyring 1:40.0-1.
I have not recompiled since the temp fix above.

EDIT: I have now installed glib2 2.72.1-1 and am still running gnome-keyring 1:40.0-1 compiled with "--without-libcap-ng". Everything seems to work correctly (with that compilation option.)

So, I do not know if this is glib2 bug or gnome-keyring bug....

And again, I can't reproduce this problem. It works fine for me.
