LongView install trouble on Debian buster
Trying to install LongView from Linode Manager - in Debian Buster
Automatic process fails:
curl -s https://lv.linode.com/***ID copied from Linode Manager*** | sudo bash
Invalid Installer Session
Please see the Longview details page to start a new session
OR if you would like to install Longview manually please see:
https://linode.com/docs/platform/longview/longview/#manual-installation-with-yum-or-apt
OK, followed these steps from the manual:
1 - Created /etc/linode
2 - Created /etc/linode/longview.key
3 - Fetched https://apt-longview.linode.com/linode.gpg
4 - Moved linode.gpg into /etc/apt/gpg.trusted.d
5 - Created linode.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d:
deb http://apt-longview.linode.com/ buster main
Now:
apt-get update
fails:
Get:3 http://apt-longview.linode.com buster InRelease [3,241 B]
Err:3 http://apt-longview.linode.com buster InRelease
The following signatures were invalid: D12F8D2C47B4A16917C9A040BED67E64325A043E

Checking the keys - the linode key is imported:

The key is listed twice, I assume first "instance" was added by Linode early on during node creation, and the second was just now added by me into trusted.gpg.d.
But in any case the signing key is there.
Am I doing something wrong or is there an issue on Linode's side?

Tried to edit the linode.list repo file to change the distro name to Ubuntu's - xenial, bionic, cosmic all worked, no signing errors from apt-get update.
But any Debian codename - wheezy, jessie, buster - produces the above GPG error.
And so - looks like Debian repos are not properly signed (while Ubuntu repos are)?

Thanks for letting us know. I'll make sure we get the signatures fixed for the other versions, but for now Debian 9 'stretch' works if you'd like to use it. I've confirmed it on my own Linode, and the same version of Longview that works on Debian 9 will likely work on Debian 10 with no or minimal changes needed.
