Bug 1023766

Description of problem: When installing eclipse from the Fedora repository, the user is presented with a cryptic error message complaining about an incompatibility between subversion, gnome-keyring, and subeclipse, with the result that eclipse asks the user to apparently disable gnome-keyring, which sounds a bit dangerous if it is already being used by other apps.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 19
eclipse-platform.x86-64 1:4.3.1-5.fc19
subversion.x86_64 0:1.7.13-1.fc19
gnome-keyring-3.8.2-1.fc19.x86_64


How reproducible:
Unknown, only tried installing once


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F19
2. Install eclipse as per official instructions found on Fedora site:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HOWTO_Setup_Android_Development
3.

Actual results:
Weird bug that leaves user not knowing what to do. Answering "cancel" will apparently prevent eclipse from working but answering "OK" will apparently disable gnome-keyring (presumably breaking other stuff). The dialog is badly worded though, so it's not really entirely clear what it means or what will happen if either button is clicked. (it says some files will get renamed and moved around but it offers no help as to what effect that will have on your system other than maybe making eclipse run)

Expected results:
The versions of svn, eclipse, and gnome-keyring provided should actually work together

Additional info:

I was attempting to follow the official instructions provided on the Fedora website for installing the Android development environment. These instruction do not address this dialog, suggesting either it's a new problem or that there's a gap in the instructions.

It may be that this could be fixed by simply improving the dialog so it explains the problem and solution better. It seems to assume the person installing the software is already an expert on eclipse, svn, and gnome-keyring to the extent of knowing what the config files do, where they're stored and what side effects messing with them will have. A first time user is unlikely to know any of that.
