Package: apt Followup-For: Bug #968148 Dear Maintainer,
Replacing the command is not what we want to achieve here, but a few changes in the documentation would go a long way in resolving this. Maybe changing the text from: > Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in > trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)). To: > Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Keys can simply be downloaded and > managed separately in the trusted.gpg.d directory instead using > standard file management tools (see apt-key(8)). And in the apt-key man-page: > Use of apt-key is deprecated, except for the use of apt-key del in > maintainer scripts to remove existing keys from the main > keyring. If such usage of apt-key is desired the additional installation of > the GNU Privacy Guard suite (packaged in gnupg) is > required. To: > Use of apt-key is deprecated, except for the use of apt-key del in > maintainer scripts to remove existing keys from the main > keyring. If such usage of apt-key is desired the additional installation of > the GNU Privacy Guard suite (packaged in gnupg) is > required. > New keys can be managed separately in the trusted.gpg.d directory instead > using > standard file management tools (see apt-key(8)). > A replacement for "sudo apt-key add -" would be "sudo tee > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/keyname.gpg" Those last two lines are a nice addition because apt-key add examples float around a lot on the web. Thanks for maintaining the package. Hope this helps to resolve the issue people have. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386
