Docbook — failed to load external entity

A quick(ish) fix for expired GPG repo keys

The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian stable InRelease: The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG 23E7166788B63E1E Yarn Packaging <[email protected]> W: Failed to fetch https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/dists/stable/InRelease The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG 23E7166788B63E1E Yarn Packaging <[email protected]> W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Googling this returns a mixture of results and fixes, but the one I’ve found works the majority of the time is: sudo apt-key adv --refresh-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com Running sudo apt update again then works — yay! 🎉
