[Bug 1753945] Re: Failure to build 18.04 minimal images due to missing gpg packages

[Thomas Dreibholz]

Note, that building a Xenial pbuilder environment works with the
commands and configuration above (with DISTRIBUTION=xenial in
/etc/pbuilerrc). So, apt-key seems to still need gpg in Bionic and
Cosmic, and apt-key either needs a fix or have the dependency on gpg.

Title:
  Failure to build 18.04 minimal images due to missing gpg packages

Status in live-build package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  We (CPC) are seeing failures when building 18.04 minimal images with
  the following errors when adding a PPA.

  E: gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of
  them is required for this operation

  I understand that there has been recent changes to which gpg packages
  are installed in 18.04. Is this a bug or should we be explicitly
  installing gpg packages now?

  We started seeing these build failures on 03-Mar-2018.

  This is blocking build of all 18.04 minimal images.
