When executing

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys "D401AB61 DBE1D0A2"

I get the following result:

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys "D401AB61 DBE1D0A2"
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.B3RuvWpOpZ/gpg.1.sh --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D401AB61 DBE1D0A2
gpg: "D401AB61 DBE1D0A2" not a key ID: skipping

update: I only get this error on Ubuntu 17.04. If I run the same command in an Ubuntu Trusty or Xenial VM then it works as expected.

Same with 18.04 LTS

We need to use the long key id, using twi shirt key ids does not work for all gpg versions it seems.

This is the correct long key id: 379CE192D401AB61
