After installing the KDE updates today and rebooting I found that Chrome is not showing any passwords and I have to re-type my SSH key password on every login. The KDE Wallet Manager shows a blank screen.

The wallet-related upgrade in /var/log/apt/history.log is:

Code: Select all

libkwalletbackend5-5:amd64 (5.101.0-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build19, 5.102.0-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build20)
libkf5wallet-data:amd64 (5.101.0-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build19, 5.102.0-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build20)
libkf5wallet5:amd64 (5.101.0-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build19, 5.102.0-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build20)
signon-kwallet-extension:amd64 (4:22.12.0-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build11, 4:22.12.1-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build12)
kwalletmanager:amd64 (4:22.12.0-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build11, 4:22.12.1-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build12)
libpam-kwallet5:amd64 (4:5.26.4-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build12, 4:5.26.5-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build14)
libpam-kwallet-common:amd64 (4:5.26.4-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build12, 4:5.26.5-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build14)


When starting Chrome from the command line I get:

Code: Select all

[8215:8215:0117/082246.824898:ERROR:password_sync_bridge.cc(1040)] Passwords datatype error was encountered: Failed to get encryption key during database cleanup.

When starting the Wallet Manager on the command line I get:

Code: Select all

Couldn't start kwalletd:  QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", "The name org.kde.kwalletd5 was not provided by any .service files")

those package numbers seem odd. kwallet packages are already at kwallet-kf5_5.102.0-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build20_amd64.buildinfo in release. see https://build.neon.kde.org/job/jammy_re ... _amd64/20/ ..... try and upgrade again.

I just ran pkcon refresh and pkcon update again but no packages changed.

I also tried regressing and pinning any package with the word "wallet" in the name to the previous version shown in apt-cache policy <package> but this didn't fix the problem.

Update: It seems today's update removed a package, according to the apt history.log:

Code: Select all

Remove: libkf5wallet-bin:amd64 (5.101.0-0xneon+22.04+jammy+release+build19)
End-Date: 2023-01-17  07:59:43

Trying to re-install this reports a dependency problem:

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 libkf5wallet-bin : Depends: libqca-qt5-2 (>= 2.3.5) but 2.3.4-1build1 is to be installed

This is a similar issue to this bug report:
https://www.mail-archive.com/kde-bugs-d ... 01744.html

There is a file, /etc/apt/preferences.d/98-jammy-overrides, which I assume is supposed to be there, which pins ibqca-qt5 in the following way...

Code: Select all

Package: libqca-qt5-2
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: 1100

As far as I can tell ibqca-qt5-2 version 2.3.5 is only available in Debian Sid.

I will see if I can force an upgrade of libqca-qt5-2.

OK. Found the problem. It is related to this bug:
https://www.mail-archive.com/kde-bugs-d ... 65511.html

I did indeed have both 98-jammy-overrides and 99-jammy-overrides
98-jammy-overrides was pinning libqca-qt5 to an old version.

The solution is to delete /etc/apt/preferences.d/98-jammy-overrides and re-run the software updater.

I found this bug: https://www.mail-archive.com/kde-bugs-d ... 60526.html

After manually installing the libkf5wallet-bin package, kwallet works again in my case.

Happened to me as well, thanks for figuring out a solution !
To summarize:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/98-jammy-overrides

Then run

Code: Select all

pkcon update

AND re-install missing package

Code: Select all

libkf5wallet-bin

(I forgot this last step)

Thank you @tamtamhero for your instructions.

If it helps someone like me finding this solution. The last step (reinstalling the missing package) is done by

Code: Select all

pkcon install libkf5wallet-bin

after that it works again

@tamtamhero
Thank you soooo much! Worked like a charm.
