[Bug 1767319] Re: Bionic root does not contain gpg tools

[Ken Sharp]

The host used doesn't matter: the Bionic chroot is the problem. Sadly
this has been here for five years and hasn't been touched.

Workaround is to add --include=gnupg to the debootstrap command.

I guess this could be patched into debootstrap if there's no other fix
possible.

** Summary changed:

- debootstrap on Xenial creates broken install for Bionic related to gnupg1/gnupg2 apt-key dependencies
+ Bionic root does not contain gpg tools

** Tags removed: xenial
** Tags added: bionic

Title:
  Bionic root does not contain gpg tools

Status in debootstrap package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  "debootstrap bionic" run on Ubuntu Xenial will create a bootstrap
  installation missing any gnupg (not gpgv) tools. Thus continuing
  installation from the bootstrapped installation using own debian
  package archives will fail, as that would require adding of public
  keys for the private repository. Due to "apt-key" needing gnupg for
  internal operation, adding keys and thus installation will fail.

  Reproduce: run debootstrap and check if "apt-key list" works or "gpg"
  is installed afterwards.

  Expected behaviour: Debootstrap installation can be used as template
  for further setup or as LXC guest without additional modifications.

  This bug could also be seen as a missing dependency on "apt" package,
  but not sure if it was omitted on purpose.
