Title:
apt-key list should not change the mtime and ctime on /etc/apt
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Binary package hint: apt
In setting up host intrusion detection software (samhain) I discovered
that `apt-key list` updates the ctime and mtime on /etc/apt. Poking at
this with strace, it appears to be because gpg creates some temp file
in /etc/apt, maybe a lock, I don't know. This is frustrating, as list
should really be a readonly action, and should not require write
access, let alone complex HIDS rules excluding it.
I'm running hardy LTS, and have not tested in anything newer. This
appears somewhat related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=393005
