Error: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found while installing Filezilla

Question

Here I am trying to install Filezilla in ubuntu 16.04. The commands which I use are:

1) sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu xenial-getdeb apps" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/getdeb.list'

2) wget -q -O- http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -

3) sudo apt update && sudo apt install filezilla

But when I try the second command I am getting an error:

gpg: "no valid OpenPGP data found"

Can anyone tell me how to overcome this error? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You appear to be over complicating the process of installing filezilla.

Simply enable the universe repository

Then install filezilla either via the software center or via the command line with sudo apt install filezilla
