The version of GnuPG currently in unstable/testing does not include
the program "gpgkeys_hpk". This causes the --recv-key and the
the --send-key options to fail with the following error message:
$ gpg --recv-key 0x12345678
gpg: unable to execute program "gpgkeys_hpk": No such file or directory
gpg: no handler for keyserver scheme "hpk"
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
The solution is to include the following patch to debian/rules, ie,
to include the option "--enable-external-hkp" to ./configure:
diff -u -r1.3 rules
--- debian/rules 22 Mar 2004 07:45:24 -0000 1.3
+++ debian/rules 6 Apr 2004 01:04:11 -0000

I have successfully tested this patch.
The only reasons I can think of for NOT doing this is if gpgkeys_hpk
had some known security issues, and the fact that gpgkeys_hpk is an
experimental interface (and is marked as such). A quick search of
Google does not reveal anything related to security, and I
personally think gpgkeys_hpk is useful and should be included.
Yours truly,
John Zaitseff

This problem relates only to the 1.2.x series, which is not in any
Debian distribution anymore. Closing.
