Package: keychain
Version: 2.6.8-2
Followup-For: Bug #325644

Here's the behavior I see when I invoke keychain from a console with no
X windows:

KeyChain 2.6.8; http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/
Copyright 2002-2004 Gentoo Foundation; Distributed under the GPL

 * Found existing ssh-agent (3468)
 * Adding 1 ssh key(s)...
 Error: Can't open display: :0.0
 * Error: Problem adding; giving up


It does work with the --nogui option set.  However, it would seem to be
a more reasonable action would be to prompt for passphrase than bombing
out.  Since when is keychain dependant on X windows?  I might actually
like to run it from the console and X windows.  Sure I could test to see
if $DISPLAY is set, but it seems like the program could do that, too,
and handle this error gracefully, without me needing to complicate my
.bash_profile more.
