Dear all,
I am sharing a specific key so it's simple and easy to show -
$ apt-key list
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-jessie-security-automatic.gpg
-------------------------------------------------------------------
pub rsa4096 2014-11-21 [SC] [expires: 2022-11-19]
D211 6914 1CEC D440 F2EB 8DDA 9D6D 8F6B C857 C906
uid [ unknown] Debian Security Archive Automatic Signing
Key (8/jessie) <ftpmas...@debian.org>
$ sudo apt-key del D21169141CECD440F2EB8DDA9D6D8F6BC857C906
[sudo] password for shirish:
OK
Again running the apt-key list tells me that the key is no longer there.
I tried it with some different keys if using the short keycode for
e.g. if just using the first 8 alphanumeric keys it works, but found
it doesn't.
apt-key is part of apt
$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/apt-key
apt: /usr/bin/apt-key
$ apt-cache policy apt
apt:
Installed: 1.8.0
Candidate: 1.8.0
Version table:
*** 1.8.0 990

buster/main amd64 Packages
500 http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian
unstable/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I looked at the Debian [BTS][1] but couldn't find a bug and dunno
whether it's a bug or it's a wishlist feature that I need to file. Can
anybody comment ?
