Right, I had been meaning to take care of it, but this special use case had way lower priority than other issues… > Work-around: > > d-i preseed/late_command string in-target /bin/bash -c "\ > wget -O /etc/foo.asc http://foo/key ;\ > echo 'deb [signed-by=/etc/foo.asc] http://foo/ buster bar' > >>>>/etc/apt/sources.list ;\ > apt update ;\ > apt -y install baz" I seem to remember having seen some discussion regarding how to detect binary or armoured keys; maybe a cheap(er) fix would be to make sure we install the needed gnupg bits into /target when such a setting (apt-setup/local*/key) is detected? See generators/60local in apt-setup. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (k...@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
