Bug#511292: apt: error message about missing keys doesn't mention the repository for the missing key
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.19+b1
Severity: important
aptitude update brought this error:
Fetched 10.1MB in 2s (4141kB/s)
Reading package lists... Done
W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs:
58522DBD02AA9A04
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
This is of little help, as the user only knows that there is a key missing.
He doesn't know what key is missing. APT should print what repository is
affected. Further, the last message ("You may want to run apt-get update")
is totally misleading, as it doesn't help because the key is just not
available.
Regards,
Tino
