skypeforlinux like all other electron apps depends on an old version of chromium which has old and unused dependencies to libsecret / gnome-keyring coded into them The package doesn't actually require either to function, nor does it use them in any way. Reproducible: Always
PR - https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/9816
Karol: this bug has been unattended for a while. Do you still wish to proxy maintain this package?
Virgil: I have to apologize for this situation. My gentoo machine completely broke down a few months ago so I had to buy a new computer. I couldn't use backups to bring gentoo back quickly (different CPU vendor :-/ ) so I had to install another distribution and sadly hadn't time for gentoo since then. So please remove me from proxy-maintainers list for Skype.
I am a proxy maintainer for other packages, I don't mind taking over this package
OniGino, could you please submit a PR changing the maintainer?
