Updated today, it moved from

2018-03-26 08:11:25 upgrade gnome-keyring:amd64 3.27.4-2ubuntu1
3.28.0.1-1ubuntu1

to

2018-03-26 08:14:34 status installed gnome-keyring:amd64
3.28.0.1-1ubuntu1


After this, noticed that some local code that uses ssh key comments
(from 'ssh-add -l' output) for automatic annotations is no longer
working right.

Previously (example from 16.04):

nneul at skyhawk:~ $ ssh-add -l
2048 SHA256:...... nneul at neulinger.org (RSA)

Now (from current 18):

nneul at infinity:~ $ ssh-add -l
2048 SHA256:...... /users/nneul/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA)


This is a negative change from my perspective as we are making use of that comment for automatic annotations (not security sensitive) and things like automatically populating git identity when managing a shared application development/server accounts.
