Error: The key does not match the expected one or is empty. Proxmox installation may be compromised.

I followed your script to the letter, but the sha512sum: /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg: reported no such file or directory...
What to do??

@carstenwurtz
I had this same problem today. I had installed Debian 12 without the "standard system utilities".
I examined the code and found that wget needed to be installed:

Proxmox-Debian12/scripts/install_proxmox-1.sh

Lines 236 to 244 in f7b4baa

	wget https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg
	echo -e "${yellow}Checking Key...${default}"
	# Calculate the hash of the key
	key_hash=$(sha512sum /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/proxmox-release-bookworm.gpg | cut -d ' ' -f1)
	# Check if the key is empty
	if [ -z "$key_hash" ]; then

I installed wget with:
apt install wget

Then I started the ./setup again and it worked fine.

@mathewalves May be we can get a check for wget at the beginning of the scripts?

@nblomquist oh of course, in fact I need to make these and more changes to avoid bugs, when I created this script it was to meet a need I had at the time, I didn't imagine that so many other people would use it
