Gnome Keyring (Seahorse / Passwords & Keys GUI app) resets the default
Login
keyring's password when updating its associated package.
This is especially an issue on distributions with frequent updates as the keyring password has to be manually updated by the user after each update.
As I have full-disk encryption (FDE) and auto-login enabled, my Login
keyring password is set to empty/blank value so that Gnome doesn't ask the keyring to be manually unlocked on each login.
How to fix this issue so that Gnome Keyring respects the existing password on package updates and not reset the password back to its original value?
