I have now purged Seahorse.  I then purged and re-installed Evolution.  I also removed ~/.config/evolution  Then attempted to set up Evolution.  There is an error message in the terminal as follows:
barry@wily:~$ evolution
(evolution:11958): camel-WARNING **: Failed to initialize NSS SQL database in sql:/etc/pki/nssdb: NSS error -8126

During the setup, I can't get past the window in the screenshot labelled
'Screenshot of the window I can't get past'  I know I have the correct
password as it allows me to log onto the online email site for the gmail
address concerned.  The Window reappears with no error message or help
of any kind.  The attached image is from the third attempt to provide
the information.  As I have removed Seahorse and the daemon, I have no
idea what Evolution is attempting to do.

Title:
  Online address book can't be set up due to keyring request

Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I use Evolution only for the address-book.  I use it to sync my Google
  address book which has extensive information from my Android phone.
  There was no problem on 15.04, or on 15.10 up until the beta of early
  September.  My desktop PC and my laptop both operate the Evolution
  addressbook online just fine.  Both are up to date.

  A new installation on this computer as at the release date for Wily
  shows the problem.  I have set the online account to allow Evolution
  to access online data.  When I try to set Evolution up exactly as on
  the two previous installations, I cannot do so without allowing it to
  add the passwords to my personal keyring.  If I uncheck the 'add
  password to keyring' box, Evolution cannot be set up with any account
  data.

  I have spent a number of hours trying to find a workaround, bu so far
  with no success.  I assume this is an Evolution problem, but obviously
  Seahorse is invoked.
