all my passwords are gone

[Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch>]

Hi there,

just as Rainer reported:

* before upgrading from jessie to stretch I've checked the release notes
  there seems to be no mention of kwallet in the notes
* then I've upgraded from jessie to stretch
* when I start kwalletmanager it comes up empty
  * all my passwords seem to be gone
* when I select File -> Import a wallet, nothing happens, no dialog shows up
* when I select File -> Import XML, nothing happens, no dialog shows up

I think this bug report by Rainer should have had severity critical and 
have blocked kwalletmanager from entering stretch.

Also the release notes should warn about this problem and suggest to 
export the passwords before upgrading.

And there should be a NEWS file coming with kwalletmanger warning 
about this and strongly suggesting an export.

At this point I do not know how to recover the passwords from kwallet. 
Looks like 100% data loss at this point.

I'll proceed now and will set the severity of this bug to critical.

Suggestions for recovery procedures for the passwords are wellcome.

Thanks,
*t

PS: By some divine intuition I did export the passwords from kwallet
    before the jessie -> stretch upgrade.
