Getting error while updating MongoDB from 6 to 7 in Ubuntu 22.04

I have been following the instructions to upgrade the MongoDB server from 6 to 7 from the official page. Then I tried to install version 7 according to this. When I run sudo apt-get update, I am getting the following error:

My keyring is in place in this file: /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg

How to fix this error?

Same issue.

The docs say to just repeat the Import the public key used by the package management system step, but that didn’t work for me.

One thing I found was the keyring is not showing when running sudo apt-key list. No matter how many times I run the curl -fsSL https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-7.0.asc | sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg --dearmor command, the key ring doesn’t show up there but the file is created.

The solution is to put the keyring location in the sources file.

Edit the file using sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list and put this instead:

deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/7.0 multiverse

Reference to how key rings work: repository - What commands (exactly) should replace the deprecated apt-key? - Ask Ubuntu

Another solution is to create the keyring in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ instead of /usr/share/keyrings/.
The command would be

curl -fsSL https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-7.0.asc | \
   sudo gpg -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg \
   --dearmor

Then sudo apt-get update to check if it can find the keyring
