Bug#1119238: kwallet6: broken after upgrade from 6.13.0-1
Package: kwallet6
Version: 6.18.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading my testing system. Doing so upgraded kwallet6 from
6.13.0-1 to 6.18.0-2
* What was the outcome of this action?
After the upgrade, I rebooted my system. When logging in again, kwallet
fails and blocks all other programs that stored passwords in the wallet:
- Wireless Network fail to connect, as they can not access their
stored passwords anymore (No password entry dialog pops up)
(Configuring the connection for all users allowed me to enter a
password and connect.)
- KMail can't access the account passwords
- "normal" IMAP accounts stay offline
- "XOAUTH2 accounts open the webbrowser but afterwards fails to
store the token
- Nextcloud stays offline and does not ask for a password.
- KWalletManager shows "An error occured when connecting to the
KWaller service: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes [...]"
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The wallet is still accessible after the upgrade ;-)
* Additional Info:
* I originally created this message yesterday, but due to a broken
mail-config (unrelated), reportbug failed to send this message, so I
manually send it now.
* It seems both /usr/bin/kwalletd6 and /usr/bin/ksecretd are running.
* This was the second time I tried upgrading kwallet. My first try was
on 2025-10-15 - with the same result.
I then assumed there was some missing migration, downgraded to 6.13.0-1
(sudo aptitude install kwallet6=6.13.0-1 libkf6wallet-data=6.13.0-1
libkf6walletbackend6=6.13.0-1 libkf6wallet6=6.13.0-1 kio6=6.13.0-7+b1)
and held kwallet6.
* Today I tried upgrading again with the same result, so I'll be
downgrading again once this bug-report has been submitted.
* libqca-qt6-plugins is installed on my system
