Package: software-properties-common Version: 0.96.20.2-2.1 Severity: important File: software-properties X-Debbugs-Cc: kmitt...@nvidia.com
Dear Maintainer, apt-key is deprecated and warns that it will be removed in a future release: "apt-key(8) will last be available in Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04." Therefore modifying 3rd party repo enablement instructions to: wget https://path/to/$KEYNAME.pub sudo gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/$REPONAME.gpg --import $KEYNAME.pub sudo add-apt-repository "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/$REPONAME.gpg] https://path/to/debian/repo/ /" The last command, add-apt-repository, while expected to append an entry to /etc/apt/sources.list instead returns Error: 'deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/$REPONAME.gpg] https://path/to/debian/repo/ /' invalid Manually editing the sources.list file works (or adding a new file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/) However would prefer to instruct users to use add-apt-repository command: * standard repo management command * clear what it is doing * checks syntax Therefore would like to request fixing add-apt-repository to handle additional attributes such as signed-by. Alternatively, perhaps a parameter could be added to specify the location of the public signing key on the filesystem. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: redacted (running from container) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages software-properties-common depends on: ii ca-certificates 20210119 ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.70.0-2 ii gir1.2-packagekitglib-1.0 1.2.2-2 ii python-apt-common 2.2.1 ii python3 3.9.2-3 ii python3-dbus 1.2.18-3 ii python3-gi 3.42.0-1+b1 ii python3-software-properties 0.96.20.2-2.1 Versions of packages software-properties-common recommends: ii packagekit 1.2.2-2 software-properties-common suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
