I'm having this problem in Ruby 2.7.0 / Ubuntu 20.04

$ apt-get install gnome-keyring libgirepository1.0-dev

gnome-keyring is already the newest version (3.36.0-1ubuntu1).

EDIT The problem seems to be coming from the GirFFI dependency, see: mvz/gir_ffi-gnome_keyring#6

See: mvz/gir_ffi-gnome_keyring#6

The problem seems to be the underlying operating system is no longer making GnomeKeyring available via GIR, and the required libraries aren't even available to be installed any more.
