I'm pretty sure, you are not using signs repos.

Newer "apt", especially the python "apt" module fails while checking the signatures of the repo, thus the "update" fails.

Note: it is the update ("apt-get update") within the call to install the package that fails.

I also had this error with Debian 9, because I did not yet "sign" my repos and used "Allow unsigned = true" within apt.conf.

But these settings seem to be ignored, hence, the "apt" python module "requires" the repos to be signed. It took me a while to debug this.

In case you "are" using signs repos, you should provide some more info...e.g. "rhn_check -vvvv" while trying to install a package via SW.
