I just tried again, with interesting, different, and puzzling results:

pwa@pwa-K60IJ:~$ gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 
A8AA1FAA3F055C03
gpg: failed to create temporary file

There's nothing interesting iptables anywhere in /var/log.  The only
entries there have to do with dpkg or dist-upgrade, and they're old.
