### apt-key fails with "IPC connect call failed" message prior to "No dirmngr" message

Due to [a previous issue in WSL](https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/3286), you may experience a variation of the following error:

```output
gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/tmp/apt-key-gpghome.nMumTfhiHO/S.dirmngr' failed: IPC connect call failed
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr
```

If that occurs, the following workaround should allow you to add the appropriate key to continue installation:

```bash
curl -sL "http://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc" | sudo apt-key --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/Microsoft.gpg add
```
