#167822 — Anytime I touch a print function, get error but it works

The system is wheezy, 32 bit except for the running kernel, all up to 
date but with quite a few added packages as my interests are best 
described as eclectic.

The error is:
p11-kit: invalid config filename, will be ignored in the 
future: /etc/pkcs11/modules/gnome-keyring-module

There seems to be zero docs on this so called "p11-kit", but I can't 
purge it without destroying the system.

So it actually refers to /etc/pkcs11/modules/gnome-key-ring.

Does this have a reason to exist, and if so, what the heck is it?

And what dies if I blow it away by hand?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

I found this bug (old, from 2012):

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687953

Solution for invalid config filename? Change the filename (from
'gnome-keyring-module' to 'gnome-keyring.module').

Logical, Captain.

 Provides a way to load and enumerate PKCS#11 modules. Provides a
 standard configuration setup for installing PKCS#11 modules in such a way that
 they're discoverable.

Whatever that means.

PKCS#11 is a standard interface [1] to cryptographic tokens (e.g. smartcards
and its ilk).

That explains why it's involved with gnome-keyring-thingmajig then.

Interesting Tomas, thank you. Looks like the recent hulabalou with libssl 
may have created it.  But I haven't had a "smart card" plugged in in 
yonks.  My new brother mfc may have a smart card slot in the front panel 
though, which might pull that in.  It as several different slots, even a 
master end usb so maybe I could plug my Nikon camera in directly and 
print straight from it.  If I can get it to connect, the socket in the 
camera is getting flaky.

Fixed it right up, thank you very much, Curt.  Since it had to create 
that path in /etc from scratch, is there a way to ask dpkg what provides 
this file so that I can make the mental connection to something I have 
installed recently?

Yes, I use:

dpkg -S /path/to/file/filename

Which returns gnome-keyring if I search for gnome-keyring-module
and nothing if I search for gnome-keyring.module
so this name miss-match has existed since 2012? Boggles my mind.

Shirley I am not the only possessor of a smart card socket on the 
planet...  At least I guess thats what one of the 4 sockets on the front 
of a Brother MFC-J6920DW printer/scanner/fax combo is. Not that I'd ever 
plug a phone cable into it since a fax machine also collects spam.

Have a look at https://p11-glue.freedesktop.org/p11-kit.html. Does it help?

Also, that is an outline for its reason to exist.  Comprehension begins.

Thanks Jacques.
