It is pointless to "optimize" for minimal installation and then break usability for regular installs. Manually install of gnome-keyring not resulting in a GUI to manage the keys/passwords/other entries is of little use for the casual user, but of course it works without, as applications can access the stored passwords nevertheless, that's why it seahorse is a suggested package and not a required one. Suggests to seahorse in gnome-keyring makes perfect sense. Adding seahorse as suggests to task-gnome-*minimal* is counter-productive, it is not an application that is needed to run gnome, it is not needed to have gnome-applications store passwords and access them again. It is the completely wrong way to fix this in my POV. The actual fix would be to just not install suggested packages when minimal install is requested. Or to prompt the user so that he can deselect suggested packages manually. But when someone performs an explicit minimal installation, this for me implies he only wants the required stuff, and no suggests at all. ciao Christian
