-----------------------------------------

             Summary: apt-key deprecation, replace with gpg --dearmor in the docs.
                 Key: CASSANDRA-19110
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-19110
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Simon Karberg


the command `apt-key` is deprecated and soon to be removed, especially on Ubuntu.
the directory `/usr/share/keyrings` for shared keys are also being removed.

I suggest to convert the docs from
{code:java}
curl https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/KEYS | sudo apt-key add - {code}
to a simpler command:
{code:java}
curl https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/KEYS | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/cassandra-archive-keyring.gpg {code}
The path `/etc/apt/keyrings` doesn't exists by default on Ubuntu 20.04 but it does on 22.04.



I also suggest to add the source.list.d text from 
{code:java}
$ echo "deb https://debian.cassandra.apache.org 42x main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list

deb https://debian.cassandra.apache.org 42x main{code}
to 
{code:java}
$ echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/cassandra-archive-keyring.gpg] https://debian.cassandra.apache.org 42x main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cassandra.sources.list

deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/cassandra-archive-keyring.gpg] https://debian.cassandra.apache.org 42x main {code}
I have made a [PR|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/pull/2936]

I have tested the gpg --dearmor on a VM with Ubuntu 22.04 myself recently and it works just fine.
