There are two warnings there, not sure which you are worried about, maybe both.
Ignoring file 'opera.list.save' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
Is common for me at least and occurs because ".save" is an incorrect filename extension. I get it all the time (It also occurs with Spideroak). Both of them seem to write backup folders at some time or other and this causes the warning. I have tried deleting them but they are just recreated so I don't know what the solution is except to ignore it.

As for the second warning, try this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver http://deb.opera.com --recv-keys A2019EA84E7532C8
