Public bug reported:

This is with lxc 1:4.0.6-0ubuntu1~20.04.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

All lxc-create commands that need to download GPG keys fail with
something similar to:

$ lxc-create -n foobar -t download -- -d ubuntu -r focal -a amd64
The cached copy has expired, re-downloading...
Setting up the GPG keyring
ERROR: Unable to fetch GPG key from keyserver
lxc-create: foobar: lxccontainer.c: create_run_template: 1616 Failed to create 
container from template

It turns out that the GPG keyserver used (pool.sks-keyservers.net) no
longer produces the expected responses. Upstream lxc has a ticket for
this:

https://github.com/lxc/lxc/issues/3894 ('lxc-create fails because
"ERROR: Unable to fetch GPG key from keyserver')

and it was fixed by changing:

  DOWNLOAD_KEYSERVER="hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net"

to:

  DOWNLOAD_KEYSERVER="hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com"
