I've just been bitten by this bug while upgrading our business PXE/preseed installations from Xenial to Bionic. We use an internal private repository for company specific packages. I'm unable to get the apt key installed with the preseed, so nothing works.
I'm going to attempt the workaround mentioned above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gnupg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754075 Title: apt-setup uses apt-key but probably should not anymore Status in apt-setup package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnupg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In di if the kernel is in a private PPA we seed di using d-i apt-setup/local0/key string http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=<key> this used to work in xenial, but in bionic this fails and therefore apt update fails in base-installer.
