I'm having trouble, while trying to run a docker container with a base ubuntu image.

While attempting to RUN apt-get update, I'm getting the following error:

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C2518248EEA14886
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty InRelease' is not signed.

But when I try to add the key like:

RUN apt-key adv --keyserver http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys C2518248EEA14886

I get the following error:

E: gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of them is required for this operation

So attempting to install gnupg | gnupg1 | gnupg2 by RUN apt-get install -y gnupg1 I get the following error.

E: Package 'gnupg1' has no installation candidate

Here's my Dockerfile for reference just in case:

FROM ubuntu:latest

RUN apt-get install -y gnupg1

RUN apt-key adv --keyserver http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys C2518248EEA14886

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    gradle \
    oracle-java8-installer \
    oracle-java8-set-default \
    unzip \
    wget \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

So if I understand this correctly I need to update apt-get to install gnupg (or a variation) which I need to update key chain but I can't do that unless I update apt-get.

So is there a trick/workaround to this cyclic dependency? Or am I doing something wrong?

I'm very new to ubuntu and docker maybe I'm missing something obvious.

  • Please add output of dpkg -l | grep gnupg to your question. – Pilot6 Dec 3 '19 at 12:13
  • gnupg and gnupg2 should be installed. – Pilot6 Dec 3 '19 at 12:15
  • @Pilot6 could you help me out a bit, I can't seem to get an output for that command when I added the command in Dockerfile. Where am I supposed to add the line? – Abbas Dec 3 '19 at 12:19
  • @Pilot6 I tried installing all three gnupg variations none worked. – Abbas Dec 3 '19 at 12:19
  • You run this command in a terminal. I have no idea what Dockerfile is. – Pilot6 Dec 3 '19 at 12:20

The ppa:webupd8team/java is discontinued. So there is no way to install anything from there.

Remove that PPA from your software sources.

If you don't have any other problems then I see no reason of any other steps.

  • Probably out of the scope for this question, I copied the lines from another image (an old one) for dockerfile. However could you tell me if ppa is discontinued how can I install java8 on the docker container? 'Cause I need it. – Abbas Dec 3 '19 at 12:27
  • You can search how to install Oracle java to Ubuntu. I am unaware of what is docker container. – Pilot6 Dec 3 '19 at 12:29
