Getting rid of Debian 12 Bookworm legacy GPG Key warning

[Geoffrey Merck]

Hi,

We recently upgraded our server from Debian 11 to 12 and are now greeted with the following warning.

This is because apt-key is being deprecated and will be removed from further debian versions. See: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/apt/apt-key.8.en.html#DEPRECATION

Here is how I fixed it:

Remove the key from trusted.gpg

sudo apt-key del 657A2B8D

refetch the key and export it to keyring folder
sudo gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv C51AA22389B5B74C3896EF3CA72A581E657A2B8D
sudo bash -c "gpg --export C51AA22389B5B74C3896EF3CA72A581E657A2B8D > /usr/share/keyrings/aprsc-archive-keyring.gpg"


Edit file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/aprsc.list to look like this:

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/aprsc-archive-keyring.gpg] http://aprsc-dist.he.fi/aprsc/apt bullseye main

Remark: even though we are on bookworm we still need to use bullseye as there is not (yet) a package ready for bookworm.

Done, the warnng is gone when running apt update.

Update:

As of today bookworm builds are available. Thus/etc/apt/sources.list.d/aprsc.list should contain following line

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/aprsc-archive-keyring.gpg] http://aprsc-dist.he.fi/aprsc/apt bookworm main

I did all said above and now i get this error:

root@aprsc:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-get update

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

What should I do now?

Hi,

In your apt sources configuration, you have a source defined for
"DISTRIBUTION" which is a placeholder in the example configs; it should be
replaced with the distribution name ("bookworm"). You also seem to have a
source for bookworm as well. Remove the duplicate lines.
