"apt-cache" (the commandline binary packaged in apt) never reads keys because it has no business with keys… from the "reproducer" I guess you are trying to report a problem with the python bindings? You have also omitted any other useful information like which version you are using… If you want it to stay as an apt bug perhaps try to reproduce it with "apt-get update -o Rootdir=/path/".
The mentioning of "trusty" in the tarball indicates a rather old version. We had a bunch of these strange characters/spaces in path issues in recent times; perhaps some/all weren't backported to trusty – I don't follow Julians effort on that front all too closely. btw: Rootdir is usually not the option you want. Dir tends to have the same effect for "less" surprises – depends a bit on what you actually do through. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687666 Title: apt-cache doesn't read keys from trusted.gpg.d when rootdir is used Status in apt package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Or so it would seem.
