I already have mysql-server package installed!!!

I want to make sure I have the most recent MySQL in my Ubuntu. So (long time ago) I added repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu PPA. Recently I noticed errors related to this repository when doing apt update. Following this guide I've downloaded and imported public GPG key.

Now when I do sudo apt update I get this error:

Err:8 http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu cosmic InRelease
  The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG 8C718D3B5072E1F5 MySQL Release Engineering <[email protected]>

OS information: Ubuntu 18.10

Should I worry about this invalid signature? How to fix the error?

The error you are seeing indicates that your key is expired.

You can list all keys on your system with the command sudo apt-key list if you wish to narrow the output you can always pipe the output through grep expired to obtain just a list of the expired keys.

For each expired key, issue the command sudo apt-key adv --keyserver [KEY_SERVER] --recv-keys [KEY] where [KEY] is related to the number in question or in this case:

8C718D3B5072E1F5

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8C718D3B5072E1F5 keyserver.ubuntu.com refers to an open PGP keyserver run by Canonical, Ltd.

You can also search for the key via web interface at keyserver.ubuntu.com

where you'll get a page similar but not identical to this:

Entering the key from the EXPKEYSIG preceded by 0x in the search box and searching should return results similar to this:

enter image description here

To the best of my knowledge the 8 hex digits is the short version (public key) you need to obtain an updated key with the command

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5072E1F5

    Looks like keys.gnupg.net from the answer isn't available anymore. I tried to use keyserver.ubuntu.com and it worked.

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <expired-key> command works for me. Great! Thanks

Get the latest (not expired) MySQL APT repository from: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/

Currently: https://repo.mysql.com//mysql-apt-config_0.8.13-1_all.deb

wget https://repo.mysql.com/mysql-apt-config_0.8.13-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.13-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install mysql-server

  • This fixed it; unfortunately Oracle doesn't seem to offer a "latest" deb url, meaning that if you are installing this programmatically in a script, you have to manually update the hardcoded file url once a year or so.

    See my answer for a process that works to resolve expired keys regardless of package.

The GPG public key is not correct here. Need to install latest GPG public key again.

Please try

# apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 467B942D3A79BD29

It will install correct MySQL-server GPG key on server then add repo of mysql server

deb https://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ jammy mysql-cluster-8.0
