Bug#632043: apt-key {,net}-update: inconsistency in manual page



Package: apt
Version: 0.8.15
Severity: normal

The latest upgrade contains

	apt (0.8.15) unstable; urgency=low

		[ Julian Andres Klode ]

	[…]

		* doc/apt-key.8.xml:
		  - Document apt-key net-update (LP: #192810)

	[…]

Reading it and the other description

       update
           Update the local keyring with the keyring of Debian archive keys
           and removes from the keyring the archive keys which are no longer
           valid.

       net-update
           Update the local keyring with the keys of a key server and removes

the verb »removes« should be also spelled without an *s* at the end.

           from the keyring the archive keys which are no longer valid. This
           requires an installed wget and an APT build configured to have a
           server to fetch from. APT in Debian does not support this command,
           but Ubuntu's APT does.

Issuing this command in Debian gives

	$ apt-key net-update
	ERROR: no location for the archive-keyring give

as a normal user. The the command seems to be supported but throws an error. A reason why it is not supported would also be nice.


Thanks,

Paul
