Severity: important
Hi!
apt-key fails if GREP_OPTIONS is not defined. The guilty lines are:
set -e
unset GREP_OPTIONS
and, if apt-key fails, updating apt fails too (it's called on postinst)
way to reproduce it:
$ unset GREP_OPTIONS;apt-key update || echo fails
fails
$ GREP_OPTIONS=a apt-key update || echo fails
(it works)
I think that changing the order of that lines to:
unset GREP_OPTIONS
set -e
should fix the problem.
Thanks!
