When I launch Dialect, It fail to start with the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dialect", line 38, in <module>
    from dialect import main
  File "/usr/share/dialect/dialect/main.py", line 17, in <module>
    gi.require_version("Secret", "1")
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 122, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Secret not available

I installed it with "apt install dialect" without installing anything else. I am not using GNOME.

If I install gir1.2-secret-1, the issue doesn't occur. I think it should be added to dependencies.
Thank you
