[SOLVED] new install of Stretch - cannot 'apt-key add'

[OneCD]

Hello.

After my Jessie install decided to end-it-all yesterday after an update, I installed Stretch and was pleasantly surprised to find that Plasma 5 window management now works correctly with multiple-monitors.

I'm configuring everything again from scratch rather than try to import all my previous stuff.

Now trying to install VirtualBox as per the wiki and I'm getting this:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-key add oracle_vbox_2016.asc 
gpg: WARNING: nothing exported
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

I then found this post and tried:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring

... but still no success.

Also found this which suggests it may be a corrupt (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg) but I've had no success follow the instructions by the author.

Can anyone assist here? Thanks.

You might try:

Code: Select all

wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

From the Oracle instructions here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

I ran through the instructions as per the wiki –although I don't use sudo–and the key gets okayed.

Code: Select all

# curl -O https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

root@debian:/home/user#  apt-key add oracle_vbox_2016.asc
OK

And after updating the sources simulated the installation with aptitude:

Code: Select all

# aptitude install -s virtualbox-5.1
