[Bug 1767319] Re: debootstrap on Xenial creates broken install for Bionic related to gnupg1/gnupg2 apt-key dependencies

[Abraham Macías Paredes]

The same thing happens when debootstrap is used under Debian 9.

A workaround for this is using: --include=gnupg2

If you are using "lb build" you can configure it like this:
 lb config --debootstrap-options="--include=gnupg2"

I think that the correct package to use must be gnupg2 according to this wiki:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes#Other_base_system_changes_since_16.04_LTS

Best regards!

Title:
  debootstrap on Xenial creates broken install for Bionic related to
  gnupg1/gnupg2 apt-key dependencies

Status in debootstrap package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  "debootstrap bionic" run on Ubuntu Xenial will create a bootstrap
  installation missing any gnupg (not gpgv) tools. Thus continuing
  installation from the bootstrapped installation using own debian
  package archives will fail, as that would require adding of public
  keys for the private repository. Due to "apt-key" needing gnupg for
  internal operation, adding keys and thus installation will fail.

  Reproduce: run debootstrap and check if "apt-key list" works or "gpg"
  is installed afterwards.

  Expected behaviour: Debootstrap installation can be used as template
  for further setup or as LXC guest without additional modifications.

  This bug could also be seen as a missing dependency on "apt" package,
  but not sure if it was omitted on purpose.
