Subject: Re: None of the manpages for apt mention gpg authorization

Date: Sat, 2 Jan 2010 23:25:01 +0100

Version: 0.6.41

I guess this bug is/was fixed by the manpage apt-secure
which sole content is a description of the gpg facility used,
a list of problems this should fix/avoid and how someone
could even increase the security-level by using e.g. debsign.

I therefore close the bugreport now, but please feel free to
reopen it if you disagree!

The changelog entry lists for apt version 0.6.41:
[...]
  * Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a:
    - Added a first version of an apt-secure.8 manpage, and modified
      apt-key and apt.end accordingly. Also added the 'update'
      argument to apt-key which was previously not documented
      (Closes: #322120)
[...]

Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

David "DonKult" Kalnischkies
