Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/1.2.24 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in

Title:
  apt fails to verify keys when Dir has space, and set via cmdline

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in apt source package in Yakkety:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When Dir has a space, and it is set via APT_CONFIG file, keys are found and validated correctly.
  When Dir is set without a space via cmdline, keys are found and validated correctly.
  When Dir is set with a space via cmdline, keys are not found and repositories are not verified.

  [Test case]
  Please see attached reproducer, which works on xenial system (gpg1) but not on zesty system (gpg2)

  $ bash reproducer.sh
  ++ mktemp -d

  + pushd /tmp/tmp.sFipy6h5yL
  /tmp/tmp.sFipy6h5yL ~
  + mkdir 'Sub Dir'
  + pushd 'Sub Dir'

  [Regression Potential]
  The fix changes the code to generate quotes in the Commmandline:AsString option, which dumps the command line for logging purposes. This was not parseable before, causing the file to be rejected, so what can happen is that something now works that did not before.
