gnome-keyring depends on transitional package libgcr-3-1

Yup, this appears to be fixed by a simple rebuild of gnome-keyring. It causes it to depend on libgcr-base-3-1 instead of libgcr-3-1. I'll try to SRU a fix into Saucy.

Thanks, that makes sense, I'm not sure that's worth a stable update though ... if you think it is, could you file the rational/impact informations as described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates?

I think it should match the "obviously safe patch" item in the "When" section. I've used ldd to check that gnome-keyring on my system (amd64) is linked against the libgcr-base lib instead of the older libgcr. If any other packet still uses libgcr, it should be in that packet's dependency list, which has nothing to do with gnome-keyring.

I added a rationale. Impact really isn't necessary here.

Thanks, I've upload it to saucy, it's waiting for review of the SRU team next

Dependency on libgcr-3-1 is gone in gnome-keyring/3.8.2-0ubuntu3.1, but it's still not possible to remove libgcr-3-1 because at lease seahorse is still depending on it.

This bug was fixed in the package seahorse - 3.8.2-0ubuntu2

I don't use seahorse, so I could remove libgcr-3-1 after the fix for gnome-keyring was committed. I haven't encountered any problems so far. :-)
