[Bug 1687666] Re: apt-cache doesn't read keys from trusted.gpg.d when rootdir is used

[David Kalnischkies]

"apt-cache" (the commandline binary packaged in apt) never reads keys
because it has no business with keys… from the "reproducer" I guess you
are trying to report a problem with the python bindings? You have also
omitted any other useful information like which version you are using…
If you want it to stay as an apt bug perhaps try to reproduce it with
"apt-get update -o Rootdir=/path/".

The mentioning of "trusty" in the tarball indicates a rather old
version. We had a bunch of these strange characters/spaces in path
issues in recent times; perhaps some/all weren't backported to trusty –
I don't follow Julians effort on that front all too closely.

btw: Rootdir is usually not the option you want. Dir tends to have the
same effect for "less" surprises – depends a bit on what you actually do
through.
