[Touch-packages] [Bug 815562] Re: Difficult to know why we can't find signing_key_fingerprint for a PPA
9 years later and this bug is still unfixed when building from Bionic. The error Error: signing key fingerprint does not exist Failed to add key. might be a statement of fact, but it doesn't tell me what I must do, or whether my system is broken or not, or what action I must take. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to software-properties in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815562 Title: Difficult to know why we can't find signing_key_fingerprint for a PPA Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've created a PPA, but I haven't uploaded anything yet.
