[Evolution] Bug#753478: Please depend on gnome-keyring to make evolution work without gnome-session

[Svante Signell]

Package: evolution-data-server
Version: 3.12.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Hi,

In order to make evolution work without having
gnome-session{,-flashback} installed gnome-keyring is needed. Installing
network-manager-gnome pulls in gnome-keyring, but if not using
network-manager this does not happen. In a thread on
evolution-list at lists.gnome.org the solution was found. I'm quoting two
message snippets from that thread. 

Quoting from a mail on the evolution-list by Angel in February 2014:
> After the capability checking evolution asks for the password through

> hangs. No error, no local password dialog. No hints at the other side
