There’s some digital ocean posts about this but none of the solutions work anymore
I found the solution Removing digital ocean agents from here /etc/apt/sources.list.d by going to the directory with
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
then ls
to list the files
then remove them both by using
rm -rf (name of file)
for all the agents and then running
sudo apt purge droplet-agent*
and
wget -qO- https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com/install.sh | sudo bash

Hey @nxoepsae,
Thank you for sharing the solution.
Yes,
wget -qO- https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com/install.sh | sudo bash
Should do the trick as discussed here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/cannot-get-updates-ubuntu-20-04
Having said that, thank you for sharing the steps you took to resolve it.
I am running Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS OLS.

Hey!
I recently came across this same issue.
What you could do in order to get this sorted out is to run the following command to manually import the gpg key first:
wget -qO- https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
And then run apt-get install droplet-agent to see if the problem is resolved.
If not, then run the following again:
wget -qO- https://repos-droplet.digitalocean.com/install.sh | sudo bash
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
