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

[Lars Kollstedt]

Hi,

This also seems to affect me. But with a completely local repository within the preseed-File, and a local key download using http.
d-i apt-setup/local0/key string http://software.ubuntu.man-da.de/software/key.gpg

But I'm not sure add-apt-key has anything to do with this, since this
package hasn't been touched for a long time. I experienced apt-key was
complaining about missing gnupg. But the last change there (Thu, 11 Jan
2018 13:33:17 +0000) is still to long ago. If this didn't stay within
proposed for almost a month. ;-) And there is nothing about changing
priority from important to optional mentioned in the changelog.

On Xenial this was Priority Important, on bionic it's only optional. But
adding it manually within the preeseed file IMHO wont help, since this
will cause problems to early.

This was still working on March 2nd 2018 with bionic.

Kind Regards
   Lars

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

Status in apt-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
