DigitalOcean Agent key deprecation warning in Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy)

On a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS) x64 droplet, running apt update && apt upgrade will produce the following warning:

W: https://repos.insights.digitalocean.com/apt/do-agent/dists/main/InRelease: Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details.

This is a warning, not an error, and it can be fixed manually, but it would be nice for it not to happen in the first place in Ubuntu 22.04+.

I figured out the fix…

If logged in a root (otherwise sudo to be added)

Run apt update

get the error

then;

apt-key export A4C6383F | gpg --dearmour -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/digitalocean-agent.gpg

Fixed!

Issue still exists…

Also I do not understand the fix… I cannot produce some of the bits they need as I generally do not know how…

I am not clueless but this error is new to me and the fix is confusing…

Where is DigitalOcean fix?

Hi there,

I have just tested this out and it seems to have worked as expected on a fresh new Ubuntu 22.04 Droplet:

wget -qO- https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com/install.sh | sudo bash
# Output:

DigitalOcean Droplet Agent is successfully installed

After that, the apt update and apt upgrade also work as expected.

Would you mind confirming how exactly did you install the agent?

Best,

Bobby
