Public bug reported:
The apt-key command just returns to the command prompt with no output. I
am sure it's failing or crashing silently. The scenario is that I am
getting the pgdg-keyring /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) issue.
Following the instructions in a forum posting I moved all the files from
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d and re-ran apt-get update. This reported several
unverified keys. I then started adding the keys by running apt-key adv
--keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys foo and noticed
there was no output and it returned to the command prompt too quickly.
Also no keys were added. Unfortunately moving all the .gpg files back
into /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d has left me with three unverified keys;
http://apt.postgresql.org and two for http://ppa.launchpad.net.
apt.postgresql seemed to be the key that was causing the original pgdg-
keyring, but this could also be because it was the first in the list and
all the others would also fail.
