{juliank, magnetik},
I checked add-apt-repository operation about a week ago while testing
some (unrelated) automation changes on bionic with proxy environment
variables and it was fine.
apt-key should not be used at all due to its deprecated functionality.
For your reference:
The manpage for apt-key mentions the following in a section about the
"add" command:
"Note: Instead of using this command a keyring should be placed directly in the
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ directory with a descriptive name and either "gpg" or
"asc" as file extension."
The support for /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ goes back to 2010:
https://salsa.debian.org/nathanruiz-guest/apt/commit/c24f6ce22cd6720004addad2e3382b3caa6b1b7c
Debian is dropping apt-key usage as well based on what I see:
https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build/merge_requests/11
Using "asc" in this directory is only supported as of apt 1.4 (on
versions before that gpg --dearmor can be used to transform a key to the
binary form).
