Please describe the problem.
just want to check if that is "by design"... --force was demanded seem operation is dangerous, but I expected that it would still report success false if key was not actually dropped, at least if a key is a completely wrong key
so is that "by design" and I shouldn't care to check success field...?
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
