Public bug reported: Removing an apt key from within the software-properties GUI doesn't work, neither before (when the permission is not granted to the process and cached already) nor after entering the user password in the polkit prompt. Existance and enabled state of the repository related to the key doesn't influence the result either.
software-properties-gtk --debug doesn't print information about the deletion of the key either. Steps to reproduce: 1) Add ppa via add-apt-repository to add an apt repo incl. key import 2) Open software-properties-gtk 3) Jump to the "Authentication" tab 4) Select a key and press the "Remove" button Expected behaviour: Key is successfully removed Actual behaviour: Key is not removed ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: software-properties-gtk 0.96.24.32.4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-33.36-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-33-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: communitheme:ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Aug 24 21:31:58 2018 PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: software-properties UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic third-party-packages wayland-session ** Description changed: - Removing an apt key from within the software-properties GUI doesn't work, neither before nor after entering the user password in the polkit prompt. + Removing an apt key from within the software-properties GUI doesn't work, neither before (when the permission is not granted to the process and cached already) nor after entering the user password in the polkit prompt.
