New install problems when copying public and private key / Key not found in gpg keyring

[cfritz]

I am following the Debian 9 installation guide and I am having a problem when running the ‘GPG’ step:
gpg --list-keys --fingerprint | grep -i -B 2 ‘SERVER_KEY@EMAIL.TEST’

This command only returns the following:
gpg: checking the trustdb
gpg: marginals needed: 3 completes needed: 1 trust model: pgp
gpg: depth: 0 valid: 4 signed: 0 trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 4u
gpg: next trustdb check due at 2020-04-24

There is no fingerprint shown and if I try to export the key using:
gpg --armor --export-secret-keys

I receive this:
gpg: WARNING: nothing exported

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response, I ended up installing on CentOS 7 and have made it through the install. When I go to the server’s website I see “This Domain is not known”. I registered for a demo account and tried to recover an existing account but am having trouble getting past this. Thanks again for any help.
