Title:
Apt supports only up to 40 GPG keys and provides unhelpful error
messages when there are more than 40
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
First of all, the 40 key limit is unrealistic for heavy Ubuntu users.
None of my 40+ keys is meaningless. I use many repositories, including
PPAs, for various reasons.
But, when you do hit the limit, you get very unhelpful error messages,
such as this:
W: GPG error: http://mirrors.gigenet.com trusty Release: The following
signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not
available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 NO_PUBKEY 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32
Nowhere are you told that you have too many keys, and nowhere do you
get a suggestion no how to solve this error.
See, for example, this bug for the confusion that this causes:
