Dear Maintainers, In evolution 3.8 (current testing), CalDav calendars do not work at all without gnome-keyring; no password prompt is shown, and connection attempts hang and eventually time out, without a useful error message. The HTTP error message sent by the CalDav server is 401 Unauthorized.
In evolution 3.4.4 (wheezy), CalDav calendars worked fine without gnome-keyring. I'm not sure gnome-keyring should be a hard dependency because evolution is useful without gnome-keyring (or CalDav calendars), but gnome-keyring should at least be Suggested or Recommended to guide users towards a solution. More to the point, Upstream should take care that evolution output useful diagnostics and recommendations. Oh, and I'm not sure installing gnome-keyring is really the only way to solve this CalDav authentication problem; maybe there are alternative solutions.
