I think you may have misunderstood the intent behind the gnupg change. In the course of looking at this feature request, we asked the question "why *isn't* keyserver.ubuntu.com one of the default keyservers in Ubuntu?" There was no good reason for it not to be, so it was added. Regardless of the default keyserver configuration, a way for apt-key to "add this key ID, which should be available from one of my default keyservers" is useful. -- - mdz -- Add little script to make adding Launchpad PPAs easier https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
