Public bug reported: "debootstrap bionic" run on Ubuntu Xenial will create a bootstrap installation missing any gnupg (not gpgv) tools. Thus continuing installation from the bootstrapped installation using own debian package archives will fail, as that would require adding of public keys for the private repository. Due to "apt-key" needing gnupg for internal operation, adding keys and thus installation will fail.
Reproduce: run debootstrap and check if "apt-key list" works or "gpg" is installed afterwards. Expected behaviour: Debootstrap installation can be used as template for further setup or as LXC guest without additional modifications. This bug could also be seen as a missing dependency on "apt" package, but not sure if it was omitted on purpose. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS Release: 16.04 $ apt-cache policy debootstrap debootstrap: Installed: 1.0.78+nmu1ubuntu1.5 Candidate: 1.0.78+nmu1ubuntu1.5 Version table: *** 1.0.78+nmu1ubuntu1.5 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.0.78+nmu1ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: debootstrap (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767319 Title: debootstrap on Xenial creates broken install for Bionic related to gnupg1/gnupg2 apt-key dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/1767319/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
