Ubuntu repository installation manual doesn't work

rstribrn

Hi,

since I don't know how to send an improvement feedback to TeamViewer team, I'm putting it here:

This page does contain information that doesn't work on Ubuntu 22.04 (anymore?):

https://community.teamviewer.com/English/kb/articles/30666-update-teamviewer-on-linux-via-repository

This line:

wget -O - https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/signature/TeamViewer2017.asc | apt-key add -

should be this (see gpg command in the middle):

curl -L https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/signature/TeamViewer2017.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo apt-key add -

apt-key has now been deprecated. Keys should be placed in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ instead.

I added the key in Debian sid this way.

curl -fsSL https://download.teamviewer.com/download/linux/signature/TeamViewer2017.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/teamviewer.gpg > /dev/null

Hi,

thanks for the hints. That's right apt-key is deprecated and we are restructuring things a bit:

• Our deb package is creating a keyring during installation/update that contains the before mentioned key and should cover further changes when updating the deb package.
• For compatibility reasons we install the keyring to /usr/share/keyrings/teamviewer-keyring.gpg and reference it in our installed sources.list
• In the page you mentioned we have it now noted where our keyring will be located after installation.

With this information a simple manual roll-out could be done by copying the sources.list and the mentioned keyring file. On newer systems one could of course put the keyring into /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d but then keyring updates may not come automatically when updating the deb package.

Cheers,

Oliver
