Package: apt Version: 1.8.2 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
I have a script that runs "apt-key exportall" for backup-reasons. The command diverts output to a file, and now outputs the following warning: Warning: apt-key output should not be parsed (stdout is not a terminal) That begs the question what export/exportall are meant for - their output is clearly NOT human-readable but computer-parsable. If the output is not meant to be parsed (presumably by computer program), and not human-readable, do they have a purpose at all? -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, x32 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debian-archive-keyring 2019.1 ii gpgv 2.2.12-1 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.8.2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6 ii libgnutls30 3.6.7-3 ii libseccomp2 2.3.3-4 ii libstdc++6 8.3.0-6 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii ca-certificates 20190110 Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> ii aptitude 0.8.11-7 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.6 ii gnupg 2.2.12-1 ii gnupg2 2.2.12-1 ii powermgmt-base 1.34 ii synaptic 0.84.6 -- no debconf information
