Got this small annoying “error” while running apt-get update. Seems that apt-key is deprecated;

W: https://linux.teamviewer.com/deb/dists/stable/InRelease: Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details.

This is the quick and dirty way :

mv  /etc/apt/trusted.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/

A better solution is described here, on askubuntu

$key = key you wish to transfer to new systemn check with apt-key list. $keyname = name you can choose

# export key
apt-key export $key

# import back into file format
gpg --dearmour -o /usr/share/keyrings/$keyname.gpg

# change repo file
deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/$keyname.gpg] https://linux.teamviewer.com/deb/dists/ stable main

# delete key
apt-key del $key
