Bug#745735: apt: Provide meaningful exit codes for gpg failures
Package: apt
Version: 1.0.1
Severity: normal
Hello,
It seems like from reading the code that the gpg signature verification process doesn't
provide meaningful exit codes when bad things happen. This results in apt-get update
providing an exit code of zero, even if there was a BADSIG. It would be very useful
if we could get an exit code when these bad situations happen:
BADSIG
NO_PUBKEY
KEYEXPIRED
REVKEYSIG
NODATA
Thank you,
micah
