----------------------
This command line tool can be used to add a GPG
key to your APT key ring.
Note that for a graphical to add to the APT key ring
you may consider the APT Key Manager (package "gui-apt-key").
On the use of /etc/default/add-apt-key
--------------------------------------
Generally speaking gpg has a facility for selecting the
default keyserver. See also gnupg(1). However, due to
a current upstream bug in gnupg:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg/+bug/76983
Without deliberately setting the --keyserver option the
operation will fail for installations for which the
/root/.gnupg/gpg.conf file has not been setup appropriately.
Therefore this alternate mechanism will remain in place
until the upstream bug is closed so that users may have
a pleasant "out of the box" experience.
