Can I remove gnome-keyring?

2011-12-13 Thread Anthony Campbell
There is currently a bug in gnome-keyring which keeps throwing up an
error message about no socket to connec to. I don't know why I have
this package, given that I don't use gnome (or any other desktop
manager). Will anything dreadful happen if I remove it?

apt-cache rdepends gnome-keyring will tell you the reverse dependencies 
for the package.

If it is installed because of a required dependency coming from another 
package you can't remove it without pain :-)

If the package came through a recommended dependency and you nor other 
program or libray are making use of it, there should be no problems to 
remove it.

I don't know how it got there. But wajig show-remove indicates that
nothing else will be removed so I guess it will be all right.
