Sorry for unintentionally sending a rich text email. I have confirmed that installation follows ubuntu guide lines in your link and I reproduce the output of git blame of the installation recipe showing that it has always been using the right key. The change before we get these errors are on March 2019. The unauthenticated errors start late july or so. This recipe runs at least once every week for a year or more and only a few weeks ago the installation fails.
