** Description changed:
## Summary
gnome-keyring-daemon consistently aborts while Poetry performs package
installation with the default parallel installer enabled.
The daemon exits with SIGABRT, systemd restarts it, and all applications
temporarily lose access to the Secret Service. Poetry then fails with:
- org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply
+ org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply
Disabling Poetry's parallel installer completely avoids the crash.
This appears to be an issue in gnome-keyring rather than Poetry itself,
since the daemon crashes before Poetry reports the D-Bus error.
## Environment
Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute)
gnome-keyring 50.0-1
libsecret-1-0 0.21.7-2build1
Python 3.14
Poetry 2.x
Python keyring 25.7.0
Secret Service backend:
- keyring.backends.SecretService.Keyring
+ keyring.backends.SecretService.Keyring
## Reproduction
1. Start a fresh GNOME session.
2. Verify that Secret Service is working normally.
3. Verify that Python keyring operations succeed:
```python
import keyring
keyring.set_password("test", "user", "value")
assert keyring.get_password("test", "user") == "value"
keyring.delete_password("test", "user")
```
All operations succeed.
4. Ensure Poetry is using its default configuration:
- poetry config keyring.enabled true
- poetry config installer.parallel true
+ poetry config keyring.enabled true
+ poetry config installer.parallel true
5. Run:
- poetry install
+ poetry install
against a project that causes Poetry to access credentials stored in the
Secret Service.
6. During installation, gnome-keyring-daemon aborts.
Poetry reports:
- org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply
+ org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply
because the Secret Service disappears while processing the request.
## Workaround
Disabling the parallel installer completely avoids the issue:
- poetry config installer.parallel false
+ poetry config installer.parallel false
After disabling parallel installation, the same project installs
successfully and gnome-keyring-daemon no longer crashes.
## Expected result
Secret Service should continue serving requests regardless of concurrent
client access.
The daemon should never abort due to client requests.
## Actual result
gnome-keyring-daemon aborts with SIGABRT and is restarted by systemd.
Relevant journal output:
gkd_secret_service_get_pkcs11_session: assertion 'client' failed
GLib-GIO:ERROR:
../../../gio/gdbusconnection.c:4771:
invoke_get_property_in_idle_cb:
assertion failed: (error != NULL)
secret_objects_lookup_gck_object_for_path:
assertion 'session' failed
systemd:
gnome-keyring-daemon.service:
Main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
## Additional observations
- D-Bus session is healthy.
- org.freedesktop.secrets is correctly registered.
- Poetry correctly detects the Secret Service backend.
- Standalone Python keyring operations succeed.
- The crash only occurs during Poetry installation.
- The issue is reproducible after a fresh login.
- Setting `poetry config installer.parallel false` consistently avoids the
crash.
- At the moment this appears to be a concurrency-related issue in gnome-
- keyring triggered by Poetry's access pattern.
+ ## Additional testing
+
+ I attempted to reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 24.04 running in a
+ VirtualBox virtual machine using the same Poetry version and
+ configuration (including `installer.parallel = true`).
+
+ Under the same conditions, the installation completed successfully and
+ `gnome-keyring-daemon` did not crash.
+
+ At the moment, I have only been able to reproduce the issue consistently
+ on Ubuntu 26.04 with `gnome-keyring 50.0-1`.
