Package: cron-apt
Version: 0.13.0
Severity: normal

(this time with the correct e-mail address)

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed the following using cron-apt: when a repository rotates its
GPG keys, cron-apt does not act on the error message about the unavailable
GPG key. This makes cron-apt not report about updates until a manual run
of apt update shows there is a problem with this repository and this is
fixed.

I expected cron-apt to report this error because this holds back updates
when the GPG key for a repository is updated.

I ran into this with the Grafana repository. There were no messages from
cron-apt, but by hand I saw the key had changed:

There is no bug here. You just need to import the new key for this third-party
repository. Indeed https://packages.grafana.com/ has the instructions for doing
so.
