When setup-cpp prepares the apt-keys using gpg..

the created files are not always available on disk when chmod is run

which produces annotations warnings in the run like:
Failed to add apt key via server keyserver.ubuntu.com: Error: Command failed with exit code 1: sudo 'chmod' '644' '/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/setup-cpp-ubuntu-archive.gpg'
This behavior is intermittent and probably dependent on how loaded the Github runner/machine is.
Is this a know issue or would it be feasible to have a check that the file exists before performing the chmod?

Research direction
Start in src/utils/setup/setupAptPack.ts around lines 190 and 199, where apt keys are prepared and the generated files are passed to chmod. Review the logged ordering and determine how to verify the keyring file is available before chmod runs. Done means intermittent chmod failures and the resulting GitHub Actions warnings no longer occur during Ubuntu installation.
