The required external connection is so that if we revoke the key, gpg will refuse to validate the indices and container images, therefore letting us immediately prevent any of our user from running malicious code in the event our key is compromised.
However something seems odd in your setup because I took great care to make sure all of this does work through an http proxy and it's indeed what we do on all our CI servers (no outside access, everything goes through a squid proxy) where fetching the key works perfectly fine. Could you paste your environment and ideally proxy logs to try and figure out why things ended up hanging? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1338781 Title: lxc download template needs access to hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1338781/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
