[Bug 1313171] [NEW] apt-setup repo with GPG KEY fails

[Brett Delle Grazie]

Public bug reported:

Configuring a preseed.cfg for Ubuntu precise (12.04.4), x86_64 with the following to add Puppet repo:
# Puppet Labs
d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string http://apt.puppetlabs.com precise main dependencies
d-i apt-setup/local0/comment string Puppetlabs products
d-i apt-setup/local0/source boolean false
d-i apt-setup/local0/key string http://apt.puppetlabs.com/pubkey.gpg

it fails to install, the installer aborts the automation process with
the error:

Title: [!!] Configuring the package manager
Content:
The installer failed to download the public key used to sign the local repository at http://apt.puppetlabs.com:
http://apt.puppetlabs.com/pubkey.gpg
This may be a problem with your network, or with the server hosting this key. You can choose to retry the download, or ignore the problem and continue without all the packages from this repository.
Downloading local repository key failed:
Buttons: Retry / Ignore / Go back

There doesn't appear to be any error on VT-4 (i.e. syslog), even when I
hit 'retry'.

However if I start a console on VT-3 and then attempt to retrieve the
key using wget, it works without a problem.

Thanks,

Brett
