Bug#972048: Work-around

[Francois Marier <francois@debian.org>]

reassign 972048 gnome-keyring
thanks

I've just realized two things:

1. The way to start ssh-agent isn't just "ssh-agent", it's actually

    eval "$(ssh-agent)"

(https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/48863/ssh-add-complains-could-not-open-a-connection-to-your-authentication-agent/48868#48868)

2. gnome-keyring-daemon is actually working, it's just no longer setting the
   SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable for some reason. I was able to work
   around this issue by adding this to my ~/.bashrc:

    export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/$(id -u)/keyring/ssh

(https://warlord0blog.wordpress.com/2020/01/29/gnome-keyring-and-ssh-agent/)

So I guess this might be from a recent GNOME change.
