Description
The documentation describes installing the GPG public keyring and source file for the Ubuntu repository.
https://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html#Ubuntu
However, apt requires that the keyring file be readable by non-privileged users. This is unintuitive, but even when run as root, apt uses a non-privileged user to read the keyring file (see: https://askubuntu.com/a/1401911/4512 ).
Depending on the system's umask defaults, the keyring may be created as unreadable by a non-privileged user, and in this case apt will not tell the user there is a permissions issue, rather it gives the following ambiguous error:
The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY ABF5BD827BD9BF62
Thus, to avoid confusion, it may be helpful to add a line of code similar to the following in the documentation after the curl command:
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/nginx-archive-keyring.gpg
Thanks for the report - yes, it does make sense. I'll work on a patch.
