Hi Markus,

this was originally a Bug about SHA-1 signed repositories in local0 breaking the entire installation. The Error messages displayed, where/are not really good, changing to the shell of the install system, and having a look at /var/log/syslog there shows more.

This was in 2016 and mainly a topic for xenial. But if you are still using SHA1 signed repositories this will affect you in some way in any newer release, too. Bionic removes any repositories that have invalid keys, whereas xenial fails to install the base system because all repositories where not loaded.

The missing gnupg tools are affecting bionic, I would wonder if this will affect artful, too. For xenial this is definitely working.
The missing gnupg tools are discussed in Bug #1754075 for bionic. There are two ways to fix. As far as I know none of them has been applied, yet.

This bug is not duplicated and IMHO not really solved, but it has lost importance since SHA-1 signed repositories are getting rarer.

Kind regards
