[Bug 1754075] Re: apt-setup uses apt-key but probably should not anymore

[Lars Kollstedt]

Hello again,

I don't really have an opinion if this should be solved by 
  - changing the priority of gnupg or gnupg2 (if that wasn't only another unrelated side effect of the change described in Comment #7)
  - adding a dependency to gnupg2 | gnupg to apt-setup-udeb if that would be possible.
  - using the patch from Comment #12

As far as I can see there was no progress in the upstream bug (
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851774 ), yet. But
they're not releasing on April 26th 2018. ;-)

This might be a bug affecting only advanced admins using depoyment via
preseed, but it will IMHO affect everyone of them. If they haven't
deactivated key verification at all. ;-)

Kind regards
   Lars

  apt-setup uses apt-key but probably should not anymore

Bug description:
  In di if the kernel is in a private PPA we seed di using

  d-i apt-setup/local0/key string
  http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=<key>

  this used to work in xenial, but in bionic this fails and therefore
  apt update fails in base-installer. May be because add-apt-key is not
  installed.
