Bug#845507: having gnupg as Recommends instead of Depends breaks apt-key and tools that use apt-key



Package: apt
Version: 1.3.1

In apt (1.3~exp1), the following change was made:

  * move gnupg|gnupg2 from apt Depends to Recommends


This breaks the apt-key command, which is part of the apt package.

Example:

$ apt-key list
Error: gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed,
Error: but apt-key requires gnupg, gnupg2 or gnupg1 for this operation.


This also breaks tools like pbuilder which uses apt-key to add keyrings.

Example:

$ pbuilder <args>
Creating /home/david/pbuilder-ev3dev/debian/base-stretch-armhf.tgz
...
I: adding apt key file /usr/share/keyrings/ev3dev-archive-keyring.gpg.
Error: gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed,
Error: but apt-key requires gnupg, gnupg2 or gnupg1 for this operation.


Please change gnupg|gnupg2 back to Depends
