Thanks for working on this. I manually triggered the failing workflow, and it seems to fail again unfortunately: https://github.com/freedomofpress/dangerzone/actions/runs/12866962625/job/35870604006 (I'd suggest enabling this check to run just for this PR). Any idea why? |
I believe two things are happening: a) Some ubuntu mirrors are broken b) Might be missing the |

Starting with Debian Trixie, `apt secure` relies on `sqv` to do its verification, which doesn't support the GPG keybox database format. At the same time, using the standard PGP base64 format makes the verification fail for versions of `apt secure` which relies on `gpg`, as the subkey isn't detected there. Fixes #1055

Starting with Debian Trixie,
apt securerelies onsqvto do its verification, which doesn't support the GPG keybox database format.In a previous episode we switched to the base64 version of the key, but this resulted in all other debian-versions not able to follow our instructions (see #1055 for more details).
The reason is that the standard PGP base64 format makes the verification fail for versions of
apt securewhich relies ongpg, as the subkey is not detected there.This PR takes two different routes for versions which rely on
sqand versions which rely ongpgfor the verification.Fixes #1055, supersedes #1054
