gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

See original GitHub issue

Description

Following installation instructions here - https://brave-browser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing-brave.html#linux When running this command:

curl -s https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-core.asc | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brave-browser-release.gpg add -

I get an error: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Expected result:

To successfully install Brave browser

Reproduces how often:

Happens every time

Brave version (brave://version info)

Not installed…

Other Additional Information:

Ubuntu 18

Seems like a security issue: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1201434/gpg-no-valid-openpgp-data-found-while-installing-brave-browser

Either that should be addressed or the installation instructions should be modified…
