[Bug 855552] [NEW] Synaptic won't import key files

[Daniel U. Thibault]

Public bug reported:

I have this PGP key file (armored ASCII) which I know works, 'cause
"sudo apt-key add file" works fine. But when I pick the same file from
Synaptic's Settings: Repositories: Authentication: Import Key File file
picker, I get absolutely no response and no new key in the listing.

At the very gleeping least, Synaptic should complain explicitly about
whatever irks it.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 (2.6.38-11-generic), synaptic is apt
0.8.13.2ubuntu4.1.
