Upon updating to webmin 2.100 I receive the notification on the dashboard that there was a new repo. I clicked through to apply the new repo and now receive a gpg error with ‘apt update’…

W: GPG error: https://download.webmin.com/download/newkey/repository stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2D223B918916F2A2
E: The repository 'https://download.webmin.com/download/newkey/repository stable Release' is not signed.

I confirmed that the new webmin.list file contains the new repo:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-webmin-developers.gpg] https://download.webmin.com/download/newkey/repository stable contrib

and I verified that they debian-webmin-developers.gpg file exists in the location as indicated.

I do not know what else to check, any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Solved my problem too. (I had to import the key as super user, didn’t work as a sudo user at Unbuntu 22.04 LTS )
