Comment 7 for bug 1381616

I was using the pre-alpha 2 Polly-0.93.12.tar.gz version from the downloads.

I did not seem to have any trouble installing the unstable release in my VM. It just asks me now for a keyring password. I have to unlock it after rebooting, as well. Is that a regular thing?

That being said, I think the previous Polly version is gumming things up a bit on my physical machine. I installed the unstable package "polly_0.93.12~ubuntu14.04.1.tar.gz" from the PPA and uninstalled the newer keyring version, but now I get this error once I authorise an account:

I can open Polly just fine, though. It only erases the account(s) I add. If there are files still lingering from the other version that I need to delete, I'll do that. As well as reinstalling the OS, if necessary. I just don't know what I would be looking for.
