Summary

Using a fresh Debian 11 image on Linode, the install script exits at the following line due to lack of gnupg

root@localhost:~# wget -qO- https://mirror.mythic-beasts.com/mythic/support@mythic-beasts.com.gpg.key | apt-key add -
E: gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of them is required for this operation

Steps to reproduce

Using a fresh Debian 11 image on Linode, the install script exits at the following line due to lack of gnupg

• create linode with Debian 11 image
• follow documentation to install (https://wiki.sympl.host/view/Installing_Sympl)
• a) wget https://gitlab.mythic-beasts.com/sympl/install/raw/master/install.sh
• b) bash install.sh
• watch installer die at Adding repository key...
• specifically, apt-key fails to add the gpg public key due to missing dependency, see logs below

EDIT: It appears that gnupg is already listed as a dependency in the install script, but never installed since debconf-set-selections is already installed on the Linode image

Example Project

Follow documentation (https://wiki.sympl.host/view/Installing_Sympl) on Debian 11 image which doesn't contain a gnupg package, such as Linode's Debian 11 image

What is the current bug behavior?

Installer dies part way though, as above

What is the expected correct behavior?

Installer completes successfully! 😎

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Before running script

root@localhost:~# which debconf-set-selections
/usr/bin/debconf-set-selections

This script will help you install Sympl on a Debian Linux or Raspberry
  Pi OS server with minimal hassle, and give you some intial pointers.

Failing line ran separately:

root@localhost:~# wget -qO- https://mirror.mythic-beasts.com/mythic/support@mythic-beasts.com.gpg.key | apt-key add -
E: gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of them is required for this operation

Possible fixes

Lines causing issues:

• if [ "x$(which debconf-set-selections)" = "x" ]; then
• wget -qO- https://mirror.mythic-beasts.com/mythic/support@mythic-beasts.com.gpg.key | apt-key add -

Either remove the check around dependency debconf-set-selections installation, or separate gnupg into a separate dependency installation block
