Title:
  Removing repo key doesn't work

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Removing an apt key from within the software-properties GUI doesn't work, neither before (when the permission is not granted to the process and cached already) nor after entering the user password in the polkit prompt.
  Existance and enabled state of the repository related to the key doesn't influence the result either.

  software-properties-gtk --debug doesn't print information about the
  deletion of the key either.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Add ppa via add-apt-repository to add an apt repo incl. key import
  2) Open software-properties-gtk
  3) Jump to the "Authentication" tab
  4) Select a key and press the "Remove" button

  Expected behaviour:
  Key is successfully removed

  Actual behaviour:
  Key is not removed
