The package
ksecretsserviceis no longer maintained since 2020. However, KDE wallet supportsorg.freedesktop.secretsDBus API and can now be used bylibsecretfor storing and retrieving secrets. Without updating the reference to the new package name, some developers will thinkflutter_secure_storageuses discounted dependencies that will cause issues on the long-term for KDE, especially if KDE support is a priority when it works as expected. We could also consider clarifying that it supports bothkwalletmanagerandksecretsservice.Optionally, we could clarify which packages are installed by default on specific distros or desktop environments. For example,
libsecretis always installed on Fedora KDE and cannot be removed, and KDE wallet is also supported in this case.
