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.
