Cannot write to `-' (Broken pipe) when trying to install a repository signature key
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I’m trying to install INetSim on Ubunutu 14.04 desktop. I edited the sources list with the pre compiled Debian Packages. Then when trying to install the signature key using wget I run across this issue here when I run the command:
sudo wget -O - 'http://www.inetsim.org/inetsim.org-archive-signing-key.asc' | apt-key add -
I get a broken pipe issue above.
What would be the reason for this? Do I have to add something after:
apt-key add
ubuntu wget

Yes. Exactly. Look at the official INetSim installation instructions and look at your command in the text example here:
sudo wget -O - 'http://www.inetsim.org/inetsim.org-archive-signing-key.asc' | apt-key add -
Note the - at the end right after apt-key add. Now look at your screenshot and the command you are using; text version below:
sudo wget -O - 'http://www.inetsim.org/inetsim.org-archive-signing-key.asc' | apt-key add
You are not including that - after apt-key add. So the output from sudo wget -O - which should be piped to apt-key add -. So yes, you definitely have a broken pipe happening—or not happening—right there.

I had the same problem with a docker image I was creating. I was using a slim base image which has only a minimal set of packages installed.
