So it may be related to the upgrade of a different package.
I think this might be triggered by security hardening in GLib that results in gnome-keyring-daemon no longer trusting its parent process to supply it with a DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. See <https://bugs.debian.org/981420> and upstream issue <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2305>. > I am using Runit as PID 1. Presumably that means you're getting your D-Bus session bus from dbus-x11 (dbus-launch), because the recommended implementation dbus-user-session requires systemd? The reporter of #981420 *is* using systemd, but one theory about why their gnome-keyring isn't working is that they might be using dbus-x11 rather than dbus-user-session. I haven't been able to confirm or disprove that theory yet. The various consequences of a non-systemd init, not all of which are immediately obvious, are not really something that GNOME projects are designed to support. We try to keep this working in Debian, but there's a limit to what we can do in that direction: if the underlying system does not meet various design assumptions then sometimes we will just have to say "sorry, you don't have the requirements for this". smcv
