Package: apt Version: 1.8.3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When dirmngr is not installed, one gets the following error with apt-key. $ apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 7EA0A9C3F273FCD8 Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.RXG41FeS1W/gpg.1.sh --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 7EA0A9C3F273FCD8 gpg: failed to start the dirmngr '/usr/bin/dirmngr': No such file or directory gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/tmp/apt-key-gpghome.RXG41FeS1W/S.dirmngr' failed: No such file or directory gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr To solve this, package apt should depend on package dirmngr.
