[Bug 816606] Re: apt can't be upgraded without ubuntu-keyring

[Robert Collins]

This also affects debootstrap where ubuntu-keyring is not yet configured
- its only a recommends, so the debootstrap fails.

The apt-get call probably needs to  be made optional.

Title:
  apt can't be upgraded without ubuntu-keyring

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev and wanted to upgrade apt to version
  0.8.15.4ubuntu1. I got at the configuring process the message "ERROR:
  Can't find the archive-keyring". I haven't ubuntu-keyring installed
  because it is no dependency. Installing ubuntu-keyring as a workaround
  will successfully configure apt.
