Bug Description

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:maas-maintainers/dailybuilds -y
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpf0nr53/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmpf0nr53/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: requesting key 93EE8CC5 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: fatal: /home/ubuntu/.gnupg: directory does not exist!
secmem usage: 1408/1408 bytes in 2/2 blocks of pool 1408/32768

If I do create .gnupg for it, then:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:maas-maintainers/dailybuilds -y
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp54k44x/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/tmp/tmp54k44x/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: requesting key 93EE8CC5 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: /home/ubuntu/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 93EE8CC5: public key "Launchpad PPA for MaaS Maintainers" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
gpg: keyring `/home/ubuntu/.gnupg/secring.gpg' created
OK

but
a.) its still noisy
b.) I now have root owned files in my .gnupg directory:
$ ls -l .gnupg/
total 4
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 2 17:08 secring.gpg
-rw------- 1 root root 1200 Oct 2 17:08 trustdb.gpg

Looks to me like it's not setting --homedir to tmp_keyring_dir like other GPG calls do.

Something like this (untested) should do the trick.

This bug was fixed in the package software-properties - 0.92.9

---------------
software-properties (0.92.9) quantal; urgency=low

  * Call GnuPG with an appropriate --homedir argument (LP: #1060335)

The change here seems not to have fixed the problem:
$ dpkg -S `which apt-add-repository`
