[Bug 1773992] Re: apt-key adv should gpgconf --kill all the things after execution

[Julian Andres Klode]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ dirmngr processes are left hanging around
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ apt-key adv --recv-keys "8439 38DF 228D 22F7 B374  2BC0 D94A A3F0 EFE2 1092" < /dev/null ; ps aux
+ 
+ should not show a dirmngr process after exit (except for any that was
+ there before running it, obviously)
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ This just kills more processes using the temporary gpg home directory. It's hard to imagine what could go wrong there. Maybe gpgconf could go mad and kill the wrong process, who knows?
