Public bug reported: Example command: $ sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:ansible/ansible gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp_h1uhhzk/secring.gpg' created gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp_h1uhhzk/pubring.gpg' created gpg: requesting key 7BB9C367 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpgkeys: key 6125E2A8C77F2818FB7BD15B93C4A3FD7BB9C367 can't be retrieved gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 gpg: keyserver communications error: keyserver helper general error gpg: keyserver communications error: unknown pubkey algorithm gpg: keyserver receive failed: unknown pubkey algorithm $ echo $? 0
The command should exit nonzero if any step was unable to be completed. Ideally, Ubuntu's keyserver won't fail, but that can't be helped. ** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613639 Title: apt-add-repository exits 0 even if it can't retrieve key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1613639/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
