Bug#592107: apt-key does not work for normal users
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.25.3
Severity: normal
Hi.
apt-key is installed in /usr/bin, and at least parts of it should be usable by
non-root users, especially apt-key list.
This makes even sense, as it allows normal users to see, from which repositories
a system accepts packages.
However:
$ id -u
1000
$ apt-key list
gpg: can't access `/etc/apt/trustdb.gpg': Permission denied
gpg: fatal: can't init trustdb: trust database error
secmem usage: 0/0 bytes in 0/0 blocks of pool 0/32768
$ l /etc/apt/
total 107k
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4,1k Aug 7 03:32 .
