I am sharing a specific key so it's simple and easy to show -



$ apt-key list

/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-jessie-security-automatic.gpg
-------------------------------------------------------------------
pub rsa4096 2014-11-21 [SC] [expires: 2022-11-19]
D211 6914 1CEC D440 F2EB 8DDA 9D6D 8F6B C857 C906
uid [ unknown] Debian Security Archive Automatic Signing Key (8/jessie) <ftpmaster@debian.org>

$ sudo apt-key del D21169141CECD440F2EB8DDA9D6D8F6BC857C906
[sudo] password for shirish:
OK


Again running the apt-key list tells me that the key is no longer there.



I tried it with some different keys if using the short keycode for e.g. if just using the first 8 alphanumeric keys it works, but found it doesn't.



apt-key is part of apt



$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/apt-key
apt: /usr/bin/apt-key


$ apt-cache policy apt
apt:
Installed: 1.8.0
Candidate: 1.8.0
Version table:

500 http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


I looked at the Debian BTS but couldn't find a bug and dunno whether it's a bug or it's a wishlist feature that I need to file. Can anybody comment ?
