[Touch-packages] [Bug 1577926] Re: apt-key works fine, yet apt fails with "Could not execute 'apt-key'"
I finally got this fixed on my box: It seems like the linux-image- generic metapackage was removed for some reason and the box had a completely outdated kernel. I downloaded current linux-image-*-generic and linux-image-extra-*-generic from packages.ubuntu.com, installed them manually via dpkg and rebooted. apt-get update now works again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577926 Title: apt-key works fine, yet apt fails with "Could not execute 'apt-key'" Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Apt can fail to verify a Release file which verifies just fine when calling apt-key directly. Please advise how i can supply further debug information to help fix the underlying bug. Expected: apt-get should only report that a repository is not signed when no such signature was found. If a signature was in fact successfully acquired but not verified, apt-get should report failure to verify instead. apt-get should have a meaningful error message when calling apt-key fails. Bonus: Calling apt-key should not fail when the same thing works fine on command line. A reference to "Debug::Acquire::gpgv" should be in apt-secure(8) documentation.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1377673] [NEW] diff manpage doesn't mention --no-dereference
Public bug reported: I just spent half an hour (1) wondering why diff doesn't have an option to not dereference symlinks, (2) finding out that upstream has one, (3) finding out that the diffutils version in trusty is recent enough to have it, too, (4) finding out it actually is there, even though it is not mentioned in the manpage. Would be nice if this was fixed. ** Affects: diffutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to diffutils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377673 Title: diff manpage doesn't mention --no-dereference Status in “diffutils” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I just spent half an hour (1) wondering why diff doesn't have an option to not dereference symlinks, (2) finding out that upstream has one, (3) finding out that the diffutils version in trusty is recent enough to have it, too, (4) finding out it actually is there, even though it is not mentioned in the manpage.
