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 `/home/pwa/.gnupg/.#lk0x1021490.pwa-K60IJ.947': Permission denied gpg: keyblock resource `/home/pwa/.gnupg/secring.gpg': general error gpg: failed to create temporary file `/home/pwa/.gnupg/.#lk0x10238e0.pwa-K60IJ.947': Permission denied gpg: keyblock resource `/home/pwa/.gnupg/pubring.gpg': general error gpg: requesting key 3F055C03 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 6: Couldn't resolve host 'subkeys.pgp.net' gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 pwa@pwa-K60IJ:~$ sudo gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys A8AA1FAA3F055C03 gpg: requesting key 3F055C03 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 6: Couldn't resolve host 'subkeys.pgp.net' gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 pwa@pwa-K60IJ:~$ ll -d .gnupg drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Sep 1 19:02 .gnupg/
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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1044156 Title: gpg key retrieval gives bogus, confusing error message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg/+bug/1044156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
