I'm planning on un-encrypting my home directory for easily moving it to an SSD (by following this tutorial: https://askubuntu.com/a/4960/645874), but I'm not sure if this will affect KDE Vaults.

Does KDE Vaults rely on the packages ecryptfs-utils or libecryptfs0? If so, is their un-installation necessry?

  • If you've already got vaults installed, just use synaptic or a --simulate option in a terminal and see what else removing the two ecryptfs pacakges would want to do - just don't actually do it. Synaptic shows changes before actually applying them – Xen2050 Feb 19 '19 at 02:12

The Ubuntu plasma-vault package page for 18.04/bionic doesn't mention "ecryptfs" in any of the dependencies, so I'd say no.

But, there's nothing like getting a custom answer about your specific system, so you can always simulate a remove (or install) to see what other packages would be removed (or added) with a package manager interface like Synaptic, or just

apt-get --simulate remove plasma-vault

The relevant lines should be similar to this non-vaults example:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libecryptfs1 libtspi1
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  ecryptfs-utils
