I am still having the same issue, along with many others issues lol... I
have stopped trying to find any useful answers, as most sources seem
content with being in control, obfuscating, complaining about people's
questions or just plain bullying.
I actually saw this as advice in a 'support forum' (an oxymoron):
User: "I can't get 'x' to work properly"
'Support' User: "You can uninstall it by typing "
Is NOT a solution, no matter how dense you are.
In the future, software will be developed when people feel like it.
Bugs which plague modern systems will only be fixed if we act like
sycophants, otherwise some of us will have the unique opportunity to
discuss these various and endemic plague of software bugs which our
grandchildren, no doubt, will also experience.
Encryption software that doesn't encrypt; the poisonous sprawl of large-
scale software projects managed by children and professional mini-nazis;
file managers which can't mount drives; Error messages which never see
the light of day, ever perpetuating everyone's desire to run a stable
system; puerile arguments between projects, leaving the fallout for the
end users to deal with; Non-existent documentation; When Developers
basically say: "But I want it to work MY way, NOT the NORMAL, EXPECTED,
AVERAGE way!"... Oh, this project has moved (Yet again... But we're
leaving the old, inaccurate web site and forum up from 2011 to soil
relevant search results"; Regularly requiring specific system/software
information from end users posting reports, but offer said users NO
framework for doing so... The list of mistakes and lapses of care goes
on.
Open source = Unfinished; buggy; elitist/out-of-touch/narcissistic
developers. I mean, this stuff is written in people's 'free time'...
What can we expect, really? A cohesive development and debugging
roadmap? lol
I haven't found anything useful on a support forum for years and have,
sadly, grown accustomed to the modern Linux staples of the 'workaround'
and the 'do without, then'.
On one hand you have Microsoft advertising on your paid-for desktop, or
you have a bunch of part-timers making out that they're the best thing
since sliced bread... Humanity is embarrassing.
And I will leave you all with this absolute gem from the MIT OS
license...

Basically: It's your own fault if you trust this software to do anything
remotely useful. The author is not responsible for anything that goes
wrong.
This is one of the modern standards in production quality we have to
look forward to.
TL;DR: Don't expect all FOSS developers to even remotely consider the
quality of their software or their support, these ad-hoc organisations
have no charter and no legal responsibility to their end users. And, as
always, don't use Linux if your income depends on a stable, available
and working IT system - Most Linux distros are STILL 90% 'under
construction'.

Seahorse unable to import pkcs12 certificates

Bug description:
seahorse 3.20.0-5 / gnome-keyring 3.28.0.2-1ubuntu1.18.04.1 / Ubuntu
18.04 LTS / GNOME 3.28.1
When trying to import a certificate into seahorse/gnome-keyring on
Ubuntu 18.04, seahorse GUI application shows the 'import' button
greyed out, while mouse hovering the "import" button shows the message
"Cannot import because there are no compatible importers".
This problem doesn't occur on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Seahorse 3.18.0), as
I've just tested on my wife's laptop, but happens in my Laptop with
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Seahorse 3.20.0-5).
Because that problem, it's not possible to digitally sign documents
with LibreOffice.
