Package: apt Version: 1.3~pre2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? After upgrading to apt 1.3~pre2, the apt-key does not work. It complains gnupg or gnupg2 not found. This is especially when running in a bootstrap environment that gnupg or gnupg2 is not installed. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? steven@debian-TU:~$ apt-key list Error: gnupg or gnupg2 do not seem to be installed, Error: but apt-key requires gnupg or gnupg2 for this operation. steven@debian-TU:~$ dpkg-query -W -f='${binary:Package} ${Version}\n' apt apt 1.3~pre2 steven@debian-TU:~$ dpkg -l gnupg gnupg2 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-========================-=================-=================-====================================================== un gnupg <none> <none> (no description available) un gnupg2 <none> <none> (no description available) * What outcome did you expect instead? Apt should depend on gnupg or gnupg2. -- 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/dnjl-main-repository.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii debian-archive-keyring 2014.3 ii gpgv 1.4.20-6 ii init-system-helpers 1.37 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.3~pre2 ii libc6 2.23-1 ii libgcc1 1:6.1.1-9 ii libstdc++6 6.1.1-9 Versions of packages apt recommends: pn gnupg | gnupg2 <none> Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> pn aptitude | synaptic | wajig <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.18.9 ii powermgmt-base 1.31+nmu1 pn python-apt <none> -- no debconf information
