    Hi Abhinav,

     

    Access to an unexpired GPG key is only required when installing or upgrading the puppet-agent package on a Debian or Ubuntu node. For the case of an upgrade, I would recommend upgrading to at least the latest LTS release (2016.4.3 as of this posting) which is unaffected by the expired GPG key.

    If the question is about an expired _agent certificate_ and not the package GPG key, then the article Suzie linked should provide a good starting point for getting a new agent certificate set up.

    Hope this helps!
