Since my world update yesterday, kwallet does not accept my password. Neither of kwalletmanager nor kwalletmanager5 does. Is this a known problem?

Some background: I use the wallet mainly for wifi passwords. Since summer this year, I have two wallets, version 4 and version 5. Both have the same password. Initially, there was some migration tool popping up, but it didn't do any migration. At that point, plasma-nm switched to the new wallet, which was empty, but I could still access my old wallet via kwalletmanager and copy-paste passwords if needed (thereby "migrating" my old wallet).

Thanks for any help.

same thing happened to me

I deleted old wallet(s) (i.e. all .kwl files) and started over ... not ideal

Please don't randomly delete stuff. Likely cause: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602502 (and already fixed)

Yes, updating dev-libs/libgcrypt to 1.7.5 solved the issue. Thanks.
