** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: apt
+ [Impact] 
+ IWBNI apt-key obeyed apt's network preferences like the rest of the apt-* 
tools do. The fix is to append a timeout option to wget which is invoked in 
apt-key during key retrieval.
  
- IWBNI apt-key obeyed apt's network preferences like the rest of the

+ [Test Case]
+ # iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
+ # wget -q -N

+ [endless hang] ^C
+ 
+ # iptables -F
+ # iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j REJECT
+ # wget --timeout=90 -q -N

+ [returns in 90 seconds]
+ #
+ # iptables -F
+ # wget --timeout=90 -q -N 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/project/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
+ [returns instantly]
+ #
+ #
+ # iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
+ # route del default
+ # wget --timeout=90 -q -N 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/project/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg
+ [returns instantly]
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Potential for regression is minimal as this would allow apt-key to 
successfully timeout if the keyserver is unreachable and allow for continued 
operation required by other services (i.e. cron executed instances)
