[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#708534: /usr/bin/gpg: cannot specify --keyserver after --recv-key

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.12-7
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/gpg

Hello,

the downloading of keys is somewhat needlessly challenging as gpg does
not allow changing the order of options:

 apt-key adv --recv-key 697B014A --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
 Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring
 --secret-keyring /tmp/tmp.FdxQWOiQYh --trustdb-name
 /etc/apt//trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring
 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyring
 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-squeeze-automatic.gpg --keyring
 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-squeeze-stable.gpg --keyring
 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-wheezy-automatic.gpg --keyring
 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//debian-archive-wheezy-stable.gpg --keyring
 /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d//pkg-mozilla-archive-keyring.gpg --recv-key
 697B014A --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
 gpg: "--keyserver" not a key ID: skipping
 gpg: "keyserver.ubuntu.com" not a key ID: skipping
 gpg: no keyserver known (use option --keyserver)
 gpg: keyserver receive failed: bad URI
