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" in this commit: https://github.com/lxc/lxc/commit/f2a5d95d00a55bed27ef9920d67617cc75fecad8 ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1937945 Title: old gpg keyserver no longer works Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is with lxc 1:4.0.6-0ubuntu1~20.04.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
