Bug Description

See:

https://git.launchpad.net/autopkgtest-cloud/tree/charms/focal/autopkgtest-cloud-worker/autopkgtest-cloud/worker/worker?id=92bb0adb7a6d8c6237d7f7d5d1b792c2213f044c#n643

From the apt-key(8) manpage:

  apt-key(8) will last be available in Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.

As of today the tool is still present in Kinetic, but we have to move away from it.

We'll need to see in what releases the replacement tool is supported as we still need to run xenial autopkgtests.

Dropping keys in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d is supported already in Xenial, however the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) says that:

  The binary OpenPGP format works for all apt versions,
  while the ASCII armored format works for apt version >= 1.4.

Xenial has apt 1.2.35 (xenial-updates), so we have to stick to the binary format if we want to cover all the releases. This *should* work:

wget -qO- "https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=FINGERPRINT" | gpg --dearmor > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/fooppa.gpg
