When running aptitude, I have been receiving the following warning message lately:

W: There are no public key available for the following key IDs:
   A70DAF536070D3A1

When time permits, I think it would be a good idea to make this warning message a bit more verbose, such as whose key (if known) and/or
which repository causes the error. As it is now, it's rather difficult for users to find out more information, especially since the key
can not be found on one of the keyservers.

Thanks for your time!

I have a similar report open
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=399642. I guess, apt is
the right package to report this bug. Or does aptitude has it's own
library here too?

Hi both,

No, it uses apt for this, so merging the reports.  Thanks for letting us
know.


Cheers.
