From f4dcab0504a68595d9e95c953ce66f46f9ad30aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Kalnischkies Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2016 23:44:37 +0200 Subject: deprecate 'apt-key update' and no-op it in Debian Debian isn't using 'update' anymore for years and the command is in direct conflict with our goal of not requiring gnupg anymore, so it is high time to officially declare this command as deprecated. --- cmdline/apt-key.in | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'cmdline') diff --git a/cmdline/apt-key.in b/cmdline/apt-key.in index 49056f2a6..511c91c16 100644 --- a/cmdline/apt-key.in +++ b/cmdline/apt-key.in @@ -156,6 +156,13 @@ net_update() { } update() { + if [ -z "$APT_KEY_DONT_WARN_ON_DANGEROUS_USAGE" ]; then + echo >&2 "Warning: 'apt-key update' is deprecated and should not be used anymore!" + if [ -z "$ARCHIVE_KEYRING" ]; then + echo >&2 "Note: In your distribution this command is a no-op and can therefore be removed safely." + exit 0 + fi + fi if [ ! -f "$ARCHIVE_KEYRING" ]; then echo >&2 "ERROR: Can't find the archive-keyring" echo >&2 "Is the &keyring-package; package installed?" -- cgit v1.2.3
