Hi there,
I’ve seen a similar problem reported here:
https://github.com/digitalocean/droplet-agent/issues/34
The suggested fix was to run the following command:
wget -qO- https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
Can you give it a try and let me know how it goes?
Best,
Bobby
Hi,
I ran into this problem today also. I do not know what changed that necessitated this, but this resolved it for me:
wget -qO- https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com/install.sh | sudo bash
Several other methods of adding the key did not work. For whatever reason, only the above did.
Thanks, Vishnu
