[Bug 1634234] Re: apt-key leaves files in /dev open after exit

[Scott Moser]

curtin is also busted in cases where the user provides a 'keyid', or
even a 'key' (data inline).

It seems we can/should probably make add_apt_key_raw write data to
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d ourselves rather than using apt-key.

  apt-key leaves files in /dev open after exit

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 16.10, but not in 16.04, apt-key leaves /dev/null and
  /dev/urandom open after exiting. Here's a procedure to replicate the
  problem:

  1. Install Ubuntu 16.10. (I used MAAS for this task.)
  2. Install the "lsof" package (which is not installed by default).
  3. Type "lsof | grep dev" to see open files.
  4. Type "sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 1FEADE10;"
  5. Type "lsof | grep dev" again.
  6. Compare the output of the two "lsof" commands.

  I'm attaching two files, before.txt and after.txt, that show the
  before and after results from "lsof | grep dev" in this scenario. Note
  that the /dev/null and /dev/urandom files are both open after apt-key
  is run, but not before. This problem does NOT occur with Ubuntu 16.04.

  This problem is preventing us (the server certification team) from
  importing keys in a custom MAAS preseed script; after installing
  successfully, umounting the installed image fails because of the open
  files on /dev.
