Kali Linux needs a manual update

[Ken g6]

This just popped up in my news feed.

Bad news for Kali Linux users! In the coming day(s), apt update is going to fail for pretty much everyone out there:

Missing key 827C8569F2518CC677FECA1AED65462EC8D5E4C5, which is needed to verify signature.

Reason is, we had to roll a new signing key for the Kali repository. You need to download and install the new key manually, here’s the one-liner:

sudo wget https://archive.kali.org/archive-keyring.gpg -O /usr/share/keyrings/kali-archive-keyring.gpg

Now your Kali is ready to keep rolling! Sorry for the inconvenience.

I know there's another Kali thread in this forum, and I think a spammer was trying to bump it for some nefarious reason that might be related to this. So here's a new thread for this issue instead.

Oopsie!
Easy fix, but wow, embarrassing!
