Package: apt Version: 1.4.7 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
when adding an old-style armored key, apt fails to use this. If you dump such a keyfile inside etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ (or /usr/share/keyrings/name.gpg, with accompanying sources file) apt-update will choke because it thinks the public key isn't available. gpg --export -a --export-options export-minimal 1646B01B86E50310 >/usr/share/keyrings/yarn-keyring.gpg apt update W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E074D16EB6FF4DE3 W: Failed to fetch https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/dists/stable/InRelease The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E074D16EB6FF4DE3 W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I think this should at least be more obvious in the manpage that a simple armored keyfile will not be taken into account and only keyrings matter. This works: gpg --export --export-options export-minimal 1646B01B86E50310 >/usr/share/keyrings/yarn-keyring.gpg -- Package-specific info: -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- (no /etc/apt/preferences.d/* present) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list -- deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/yarn-keyring.gpg] https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii debian-archive-keyring 2017.5 ii gpgv 2.1.18-6 ii init-system-helpers 1.48 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.4.7 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-18 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-18 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii gnupg 2.1.18-6 Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> pn aptitude | synaptic | wajig <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.18.24 pn powermgmt-base <none> pn python-apt <none> -- no debconf information
