Bug description:
  glibc regression causes test -x to fail inside scripts inside
  docker/podman, dash and bash are broken, mksh and zsh are fine:

  root at 0df2ce5d7a46:/# test -x /usr/bin/gpg || echo Fail
  root at 0df2ce5d7a46:/# dash -c "test -x /usr/bin/gpg || echo Fail"
  Fail
  root at 0df2ce5d7a46:/# bash -c "test -x /usr/bin/gpg || echo Fail"
  Fail
  root at 0df2ce5d7a46:/# mksh -c "test -x /usr/bin/gpg || echo Fail"
  root at 0df2ce5d7a46:/# zsh -c "test -x /usr/bin/gpg || echo Fail"
  root at 0df2ce5d7a46:/#

  root at 0df2ce5d7a46:/# zsh -c "[ -x /usr/bin/gpg ] || echo Fail"
  root at 0df2ce5d7a46:/# mksh -c "[ -x /usr/bin/gpg ] || echo Fail"
  root at 0df2ce5d7a46:/# dash -c "[ -x /usr/bin/gpg ] || echo Fail"
  Fail
  root at 0df2ce5d7a46:/# bash -c "[ -x /usr/bin/gpg ] || echo Fail"
  Fail

  The -f flag works, as does /usr/bin/test:
  # bash -c "test -f /usr/bin/gpg  || echo Fail"
  # bash -c "/usr/bin/test -x /usr/bin/gpg  || echo Fail"
  #

  Hi,
  for 3 days our CI pipelines to recreate Docker images fails for the Hirsute images. From comparison this seems to be caused by apt 2.1.20.

  The build fails with:

  0E: gnupg, gnupg2 and unupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of
  them is required for this operation

  The simple Dockerfile to reproduce the error - "docker build -t foo ."

  FROM amd64/ubuntu:hirsute

  USER root

  RUN apt-get update \
   && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install curl gnupg apt \
    && curl https://syncthing.net/release-key.txt | apt-key add -

  Breaking it down it this seems to be an issue that there is new
  functionality in apt/apt-key e.g. security hardening that docker
  prohibits in its containers. Running this manually works only in an
  --privileged container.

  So adding keys in unpriviledged container or possibly kubernetes will
  not work anymore.
