Package: cloud.debian.org Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
On clean instantiations of the Debian Stretch AWS AMIs, the cloud-init Apt Configure module can't receive GPG keys. The following cloud-init #cloud-config apt: sources: puppet5: keyid: '6F6B15509CF8E59E6E469F327F438280EF8D349F' source: 'deb http://apt.puppetlabs.com $RELEASE puppet5' produces the following output in /var/log/cloud-init.log on a new AWS instance: 2018-10-09 10:17:29,164 - gpg.py[ERROR]: Failed to obtain gpg key 6F6B15509CF8E59E6E469F327F438280EF8D349F Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/gpg.py", line 33, in recv_key capture=True) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/util.py", line 1850, in subp cmd=args) cloudinit.util.ProcessExecutionError: Unexpected error while running command. Command: ['gpg', '--keyserver', 'keyserver.ubuntu.com', '--recv', '6F6B15509CF8E59E6E469F327F438280EF8D349F'] Exit code: 2 Reason: - Stdout: - Stderr: gpg: failed to start the dirmngr '/usr/bin/dirmngr': No such file or directory gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/root/.gnupg/S.dirmngr' failed: No such file or directory gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr This issue can be worked around by installing dirmngr in the bootcmd step, but I would expect this functionality to work out of the box.
