This issue is present on all versions of Debian that I have tested. # cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80proxy Acquire::http::proxy "http://w.x.y.z:nnnn/";; # apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5A9A06AEF9CB8DB0 Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --homedir /tmp/tmp.TIa517Kcw8 --no-auto-check-trustdb --trust-model always --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-squeeze-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-squeeze-stable.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-wheezy-automatic.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian-archive-wheezy-stable.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/saltstack-salt.gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5A9A06AEF9CB8DB0 gpg: requesting key F9CB8DB0 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error This has serious repercussions. Unattended installs such as juju, maas, etc are all affected for anyone who is working behind a proxy. This is the case for most enterprise environments where such maas and juju setups will be tested out, and as such has great repercussions for Canonical as a viable supplier of OpenStack environments: if your product fails to install, you're not going to get the business. Considering that: * The setting to use already exists in /etc/apt/apt.conf and that all other tools use this correctly * The serious impact of this issue for downstream projects and Debian usage in the enterprise * The long time this issue has been standing and has affected people I suggest that this either 1) be fixed, or 2) the apt-key and add-apt-repository programs are renamed so that it is made clear they are not part of the APT suite of programs and therefor cannot be trusted to behave as if they were part of APT.
