It is about a few times a year when something is broken on a linux system. Today (actually yesterday
but I couldn't stay up much longer and I was already fed up with this sh\*\*) I upgraded my two
raspberry-pi based hotspots and realized when apt couldn't verify the repositories signing keys
because of missing keys.
This happens usually on *any linux distribution* at least *once a year*.
So it shouldn't be a big deal but it consumes time and I usually have to look into manpages and/or
online help again because I already forgot how I fixed it the last time...
Today, I write it down below.
## What the error looks like
When running `sudo apt update`:
```console

## Obtain the keys
```console
$ gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0E98404D386FA1D9 6ED0E7B82643E131 112695A0E562B32A 54404762BBB6E853

```
## Import the keys
This still works, though, there is a [better method](https://stackoverflow.com/a/71384057)
for future encounters.
```console
$ gpg -a --export 0E98404D386FA1D9 6ED0E7B82643E131 112695A0E562B32A 54404762BBB6E853 | sudo apt-key add -
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
OK
```

## Another way (quicker) but untested
This should also work like the above (until <abbr title="End of life">EOL</abbr> of `apt-key`).
```console
$ apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys 0E98404D386FA1D9 6ED0E7B82643E131 112695A0E562B32A 54404762BBB6E853
```
## Final words
I got that feeling: the next time I'd need this, `apt-key` will not work and got fully replaced
by signing keys in <kbd>/etc/apt/keyrings</kbd>...
Inspired by this post: <https://superuser.com/a/1485255>
As the default keyserver strips user-ids they cannot imported without
the `--keyserver` switch.
