This was more a case of worked other than expected. Since it provided feedback ("OK") I had expected that it would also say about the key's presence. So maybe the script is better silent. I have been using it manually and not in another script and usually have followed up with "apt-key list" to verify that "del" ran as expected. It's not a big deal and happens only a few times per year.
An error message with a non-zero exit status would be more what I would expect from the script if it can't find the key. But it sounds like doing that properly is not trivial. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256565 Title: apt-key del gives wrong message if key is not in keyring To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1256565/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
