Public bug reported:
A common idiom for checking fingerprints for keys begins with:
' apt-key fingerprint $key|grep fingerprint|...'
... this works up to thru jessie at least.. in zesty apt-key gives a 'warning'
but produces no output.
"Warning: apt-key output should not be parsed (stdout is not a terminal)"
If the lack of output is intended and is meant to be a proscription, it is
overreaching at best. A warning makes perfect sense.
