Bug Description

According to https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#deprecated-components Bullseye will be the final Debian release to include apt-key, requiring admins to instead manually drop the .gpg or .asc keys in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ (which you can do already). We have plenty of time to adjust to this but I believe everything from Stretch up works with this already so it may be a one-and-done minor tweak to Makefile.debian for all Debian systems.

After a rousing chorus of "E: gnupg, gnupg2 and gnupg1 do not seem to be installed, but one of them is required for this operation" here's the patch to send apt-key off into the sunset: https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/jboyer/lp1940321_apt-key_who / working/user/jboyer/lp1940321_apt-key_who

Testing is easy: apply the patch and run the make Makefile.debian-* or .ubuntu-* installation step on a fresh machine. As a final extra verification step you can also install something like postgresql-client-14 that is certain to come from the pgdg repo. No errors = no problem.

While this will work on all versions of Debian and Ubuntu that we support there's not much of a reason to backport it.

Thanks for keeping tabs on this, Jason, and for the patch! I followed these steps to exercise your patch on buster, bullseye, and bookworm:

docker run -it debian-bullseye # repeat for buster and bookworm
apt-get update && apt-get install make git lsb-release wget apache2 -y
git clone -b user/jboyer/lp1940321_apt-key_who git://git.evergreen-ils.org/working/Evergreen.git
cd Evergreen
make -f Open-ILS/src/extras/Makefile.install debian-bullseye # or -buster
make -f Open-ILS/src/extras/Makefile.install postgres-server-debian-bullseye-14 # or -buster-14

I got no errors filling up my screen, so I'm merging this to rel_3_11 and master/main.
