Bug 290882: sysutils/kf6-kwallet: no longer being unlocked via
plasma6-kwallet-pam (2025/11)
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290882



--- Description ---
Desktop running 14.3-RELEASE-p5 with current KDE6 desktop. System and ports are
up-to-date. 

I'm using plasma6-kwallet-pam in order to unlock the kwallet on login. PAM
configuration is as follows:

/usr/local/etc/pam.d/sddm:auth	      optional	  pam_kwallet5.so
/usr/local/etc/pam.d/sddm:password    optional	  pam_kwallet5.so
/usr/local/etc/pam.d/sddm:session     optional	  pam_kwallet5.so

Setup used to work fine, kwallet was unlocked on login and so were my SSH keys
und kontact credentials. After applying the latest ports updates at the end of
October 2025, kwallet is no longer being unlocked automatically.

With that update, package versions changed as follows:
kf6-kwallet: 6.17.0 -> 6.18.0
kwalletmanager: 25.08.0 -> 25.08.1
plasma6-kwallet-pam: 6.4.4 -> 6.4.5

(I've added "2025/11" to the summary in order distinguish this one from bug
#287364)
