For some reason, the test secrets-test03-items expects secrets-get-attributes to silently put the attribute :xdg:schema at the beginning of the returned alist, but on my system that attribute is placed at the end. Is the precise ordering of attributes significant? If so, why? If not, the test should stop assuming any particular ordering and use seq-set-equal-p in place of equal. Patch to this effect to follow.
