            Bug ID: 400462
           Summary: kwalletd legacy dbus service file
           Product: frameworks-kwallet
           Version: 5.51.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: va...@kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

kwallet 5.51.0-1

The kwallet package includes a legacy dbus service file[1], that binds to the
old name (from kde4?) and has Exec=/usr/bin/kwalletd.

The problem is that the executable doesn't exist, i.e it's not created by the
same package, it seems to have been left for backward compatibility when
/usr/bin/kwalletd was installed by kde4.

>From what I understand, the new kwallet (/usr/bin/kwalletd5) does implement the
old dbus interface, so it seems that the most logical fix would be to have
org.kde.kwalletd.service be a copy of org.kde.kwalletd5.service.in file[2], or
a symlink (on supported platforms).

PS.
this is not a victimless issue. 
some applications seem to fail on this, in my case I noticed that
owncloud-client fails to get credentials right after login, probably by
requesting the old name, and dbus failing to exec the old executable. 
Later, when /usr/bin/kwalletd5 is started by something else, I need to restart
owncloud-client to get its credentials, but is annoying.
