  Or if your opera:about has a build number than 1176,

  
  Missing a word there, should be "other than" I think.

  Thanks. I changed it to "lower than" because if you run snapshots (the latest of which has a higher build number), you also will already have the latest key.

  why not use /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d dir?
  why need add key to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg file?
  if you use sources.list.d dir may you use trusted.gpg.d dir also?

  @Иван. A fair point to which I don't know the answer. I'll ask the rest of the team and see if it makes sense to switch. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

  Do not be too clever.

  wget -O- http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | apt-key add -

  I sufficient (i always need to remove this su/sudo crap). Of course you need to be first loged into root acount, which is obviously obvious, becuase anything with installing software on Debian or most other (derived or not) distributions, need to be done by root.
