[SOLVED] Docker build fails with GPG error: NO_PUBKEY 1A127079A92F09ED

Issue

I am trying to build Docker on an existing RPI Docker image - which worked fine until recently. It fails when trying to run apt-get update.

The full error is:

GPG error: https://apt.kitware.com/ubuntu focal InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 1A127079A92F09ED

After wandering around in Stack Overflow and other sites, I found that the two most common solutions are:

1. Get the key from a repository:

   sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <PUBKEY>
   

   which didn't work in my case - I tried several repositories and all returned:

   gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
   

2. Update Docker (I am already updated).

Per request, following is the basic Dockerfile I am using which is built on top of ros:foxy:

FROM ros:foxy
ENV SHELL /bin/bash
SHELL ["/bin/bash", "-c"]

ENV MAKEFLAGS="-j 1"
ENV LOCAL_WS=/ros2_ws

#Following are some attempts I made which didn't work:
#RUN sh -c 'curl -fsSL https://apt.kitware.com/keys/kitware-archive-latest.asc | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/kitware-archive-keyring.gpg'  
#RUN echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/kitware-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.kitware.com/ubuntu focal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kitware.list
#RUN apt-key adv --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 1A127079A92F09ED 
#    && gpg --export 1A127079A92F09ED | apt-key add -


RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends gdb vim

........

What else can I try?

Trying to build Docker and failing on apt-get update due to missing Ubuntu 20.04 keys.

Solution

I was able to solve the issue by adding the following line, before apt-get update:

RUN wget -O - https://apt.kitware.com/keys/kitware-archive-latest.asc 2>/dev/null | gpg --dearmor - | tee /usr/share/keyrings/kitware-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
