[Chris J Arges]

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/1.6.2 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  apt-key adv should gpgconf --kill all the things after execution

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  dirmngr processes are left hanging around after doing key server stuff with apt-key adv.

  [Test case]
  apt-key adv --recv-keys "8439 38DF 228D 22F7 B374  2BC0 D94A A3F0 EFE2 1092" < /dev/null ; sleep 2; ps aux

  should not show a dirmngr process (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?

  [Original bug report]
  apt-key adv should gpgconf --kill all the things after execution

  to ensure that e.g. dirmngr processes are not left hanging around
