Error reporting process

Err:2 http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu bionic InRelease                                     
  The following signatures were invalid: EXPKEYSIG 8C718D3B5072E1F5 MySQL Release Engineering <[email protected]>

root@xx:/var/log/mysql# apt-key adv  --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 8C718D3B5072E1F5
