Public bug reported: In my environment, the following doesn't work:
pwa@pwa-K60IJ:~/Documents$ gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys A8AA1FAA3F055C03 gpg: requesting key 3F055C03 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net ?: subkeys.pgp.net: Host not found gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect: Success gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 But if I replace the hostname by its IP address, it does work. I'm running Kubuntu 12.04. and gpg 1.4.11. The command cited above seems to work for most people, but it doesn't work for me. ** Affects: gnupg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1044851 Title: gpg key retrieval can't resolve hostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg/+bug/1044851/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
