Resolving the GPG Error in GitLab Runner Updates: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you've encountered an issue while trying to update your GitLab Runner installation, you’re not alone. Users have reported facing GPG signature errors that prevent the installation from proceeding, particularly that annoying message indicating "The following signatures were invalid." This can be frustrating when updates were previously working without issue.

Understanding the Problem

The following error might appear during an apt-get update command:

This indicates that the GPG keys for the GitLab repository have expired or become invalid, which is especially common on older installations when GPG key management in Debian and Ubuntu changes.

Common Causes of the Issue:

Expired or Invalid GPG Key: The key used for signing the packages might have expired or changed.

Old Installations: Systems upgraded from previous versions may still have outdated configurations.

Step-by-Step Solution

To resolve this issue in 2024, follow these structured steps to replace the old GPG key and restore your GitLab Runner updates.

1. Remove the Existing GPG Key

First, you'll need to remove the old GPG key that is causing the error. Execute the following command in your terminal:

Important Considerations

Deprecation of apt-key: It’s worth noting that the apt-key tool is deprecated in Debian 12. In general, it is recommended to manage keyring files in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d. However, the process outlined here remains effective for resolving the GitLab-specific issue.

The Sources List: If you inspect the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/runner_gitlab-runner.list, you will notice that the GPG key is referenced directly, clarifying why manually adding keys did not resolve the issue in the past.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the GPG error and ensure your GitLab Runner can update seamlessly once more. Keep an eye on your GPG keys and repository configurations, especially as updates and changes occur in the future.
