    Did you run this as root. If not, try running it as root, because
    /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg is owned by root and mode 0600.

    There seems to be a bug in apt-key, as it tries to use
    /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg, but debian-keyring
    doesn't have it. debian-keyring has
    /usr/share/keyrings/debian-role-keys.gpg instead.

    I don't know if -y would do that, but you could try
    apt-get --allow-unauthenticated
