Description

The installation instructions at the following page https://adoptium.net/installation/linux/ for Deb (Ubuntu) Linux appear to have a step missing.

The following error occurs:

```
$ sudo echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/adoptium.asc] https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb $(awk -F= '/^UBUNTU_CODENAME/{print$2}' /etc/os-release) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adoptium.list
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/adoptium.asc] https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb focal main
$ sudo apt update
```
```

W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb focal InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 843C48A565F8F04B
W: Failed to fetch https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb/dists/focal/InRelease The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 843C48A565F8F04B
W: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Research direction

Start at the linked Adoptium Linux installation page and reproduce the documented commands on Ubuntu/Debian, focusing on the missing repository-key setup. Compare the instructions with the NO_PUBKEY error; the work is done when a reader can follow the page and run apt update without the signature-verification failure.
