sbt installation on WSL Fails

I am trying to install sbt on Windows subsystem for Linux from here. Following is my bash terminal output:

username:repo$ echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt.list
deb https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian /
username:repo$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2EE0EA64E40A89B84B2DF73499E82A75642AC823
Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.NbSR0JqpKB/gpg.1.sh --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2EE0EA64E40A89B84B2DF73499E82A75642AC823
gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/tmp/apt-key-gpghome.NbSR0JqpKB/S.dirmngr' failed: IPC connect call failed
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No dirmngr

I have checked that dirmngr is installed. 'sudo apt-get update` gives following output:

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details

Output of sudo apt-get install sbt:

I have looked at this similar question about installing crystal but don't know how to apply the solution to this situation.

It is a WSL bug, see this workaround.

You only need to change the Hexadecimal value. So for SBT it would be:

curl -sL "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x2EE0EA64E40A89B84B2DF73499E82A75642AC823" | sudo apt-key add

PS: Note this command is intended to replace the following command

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2EE0EA64E40A89B84B2DF73499E82A75642AC823

As you can see, both Hexadecimal values are the same. (Except that in the first one you prepend it with 0x which is used to indicate the following is a decimal value).
So, this workaround can be applied to any key.
