It seems that libsecret library is perfectly fine without a server (although it makes the client pointless) as pinentry demonstrates. I understand that the same issue can repeat with any libsecret application that does not survive libsecret failure and centerilizing the dependendency at one place sounds right. But it indeed looks like the failure is in the application. Maybe libsecret spec could provide an empty libsecret-never-fail subpackage that would hard-require a libsecret server and the applications like geary would require that subpackage. (Alternatively libsecret-devel could provide a RPM macro that the applications use to add a direct dependency on a server.) But this abstractions is quite academic provided the only libsecret server in Fedora is gnome-keyring. -- Petr
