gnome-keyring-management alternative
I recently moved from KDE to Gnome and I'm very pleased with it, but I
am
having a few difficulties. The two big ones involve encryption keys.
I guess that at some point in the installation Gnome asked me for a
passphrase for a default keyring, but for the life of me I cannot
remember
what I entered. No problem, I'll just get rid of the old passphrase and
any data encrypted with it and use a new one. Unfortunately I can find
anyway to do this. The only program I've found that would allow me to
do
this (I think) is gnome-keyring-management. Unfortunately it isn't in
Debian yet (I'm running unstable). I tried using 'apt-get source' to
get
it from mentors.debian.org, and it worked fine, but when I try 'apt-get
build-deps' it runs into problems:
root@volkswagon:/home/kt/system# apt-get build-dep
gnome-keyring-manager
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Build-dependencies for gnome-keyring-manager could not be
satisfied.
OK, that isn't very informative. I've never used 'apt-get source'
before
so please bear with me. I'm used to .tar.gz files, but I'm trying not
to
trash package management on this system.
So I try to build it to see if I get anything more informative:
root@volkswagon:/home/kt/system# apt-get source -b
gnome-keyring-manager
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

So I tried installing the dependencies by hand, but that doesn't seem to
work
either.
Is there some other way I can change the password on the default
keyring?
Also, does Epiphany use this keyring to store certificates or is the
"security
device" a Mozilla thing? I can't seem to find anywhere to reset the
passphrase
on the security device either. I went into Mozilla and cleared the
passphrase
in there, but that had no effect on Epiphany.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
