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

[Lars Kollstedt]

Hi again,

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2387570 may be about the same thing. But I can't see what  #1553147 should have to do with this, this is referering to Xenial, we and also gregster is talking about bionic.
On Xenial I stumbled in to #1553121 which had another reason, the SHA1-Deprecation. And also stumbled into #1512347 which was due to a unclean generated sources.list for the installation of the base system.
Here we're talking about installing "normal" normal packages after the base system was successfully installed.

But I haven't found out at which time gnupg was changed from important
to optional, and if there was another mechanism letting it work
afterwards. Manual packages selection will not have any effect because,
the entries for local0 are commented out when preparing the regular
install sources.

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.
