how to replace apt-key for webmin in ubuntu 20.04 (because apparently apt-key is deprecated)?

before (bash script):

wget -q https://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib"
sudo apt install webmin

now error:

gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found

I tried with this, but it doesn't work (bash script):

wget -qO - https://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor | sudo gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring gnupg-ring:/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/webmin.gpg --import -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib"
sudo apt install webmin

Note: with or without sudo gpg --dearmor or http/https

new error:

GPG error: http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge Release: The following signatures could not be verified because their public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D97A3AE911F63C51

how do i fix it (bash script)? thanks

Have you tried to install http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.981_all.deb ?

when running `sudo apt update` do you get error : The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D97A3AE911F63C51 ?

@WaLidLamRaoui yes. this is it. (the error described appears in the question)

@N0rbert I can't be downloading the .deb every time webmin is updated. That's what the repository is supposed to be for

For some reason the key wasn't imported correctly, you can always check by listing all currently imported keys by executing :

apt-key list

And searching for 1719 003A CE3E 5A41 E2DE 70DF D97A 3AE9 11F6 3C51

If it's missing try importing the key from ubuntu keyserver by running :

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D97A3AE911F63C51

the output sould be something like :

Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.neTpxcHlMl/gpg.1.sh --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D97A3AE911F63C51
gpg: key D97A3AE911F63C51: public key ..... imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1

Again Check if it's imported correctly apt-key list.

Finally :

sudo apt update 
sudo apt install webmin

this should work.

why don't you complete the solution including the corrected commands that I posted, because as it is it does not work in a bash script

in your case i think this: `sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D97A3AE911F63C51` with `sudo apt update` and `sudo apt install webmin` should get webmin to be installed

Yes of course. my commands can all be discarded. Just yours is enough. Thank you so much. great contribution

You're welcome, later i will make an edit to this answer to make it better and even include a bash script to install webmin, but for now it's 1:00 am and i really need to get some rest

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
