Public bug reported:
If an attempt is made to remove a key that is already not on the list of
trusted keys, apt-key gives no indication that the key
was not found. Instead it says "OK" no matter what:
# apt-key del 40976EAF437BBBBB
OK
# apt-key list | grep 40976EAF437BBBBB
# apt-key list | grep 40
pub 4096R/C0B21F32 2012-05-11
pub 4096R/EFE21092 2012-05-11
# apt-key del 40976EAF437BBBBB
OK
What should happen when an attempt is made to delete a key that is not
found among the list of trusted keys is that apt-key should complain
with some other message than "OK". Maybe a "Key not found" message
would be appropriate.
