Apt-key deprecated

[richieserver]

I am trying to add webmin gui to my server build, so I can access, but every time I keep using

wget -q http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc -O- | apt-key add

I keep getting an error of

apt-key is deprecated

I have updated the OS but don't know how to get passed this

From its manual page:

Use of apt-key is deprecated, except for the use of apt-key del in maintainer scripts to remove existing keys from the main keyring. If such usage of apt-key is desired the additional installation of the GNU Privacy Guard suite (packaged in gnupg) is required.

apt-key(8) will last be available in Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.

What you get is not an error, it's a warning.

It also looks like you forgot a dash:

wget -q http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc -O- | apt-key add -

Hi there, thanks for your reply

When I typed the correction in, it now comes up with that the above can only be used by @root, which I got into the root by using su

Only to see that no valid PGP is found in the warning or error message
Same warning that the apt-key is deprecated

Warning also said that the keyring has to be managed by the files in trusted.gpg.d

There are two files in that folder

Here's some examples of the over the top methods to add keys in the future (currently):

I have renamed the teamviewer version to webmin, but it's still not working

I have renamed the teamviewer version to webmin, but it's still not working

Please explain this - what do you mean, where did Teamviewer come from?

I have updated the OS

So what version and kernel are you running? You never clarified.

lsb_release -a
uname -a

From the Ask Ubuntu question linked to by deadflowr.

That question is about the same issue but related to a different certificate of a different software. The outlined method is what you should follow, NOT download the Teamviewer's one and rename it.

I did follow the method with the Teamviewer's first, but that didn't anything
