See original GitHub issue

Description

Installation of the current version for and on debian buster fails.

Current behavior

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64-bit

Is the jitsi archive keyring available as a deb file? That would be a proper way to solve this issue. From another thread I found a link to keyring. Using this results works:

For now, I think this link may belong with the install instructions: http://download.jitsi.org/stable/jitsi-archive-keyring_1.0.1_all.deb

Yes, please add installation instructions for debian and ubuntu packages. And please use “httpS”.
