Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 with gnupg2 2.1.15-1ubuntu6 and for example if I'm using apt-key to receive keys I'm noticing that dirmngr is started and kept open after the task is done. If apt-key is used multiple times even multiple times dirmngr is started while the old processes are still open.
To post a comment you must log in.
there are no commands in apt-key that use dirmngr, however user passed adv commands can trigger this.
One option is for apt-key to proactively kill any outstanding daemons in the temp-keyrings, before exiting.
