[GPG] can't use keyservers

Hello there

I have recently installed Enigmail in thunderbird to use pgp with my mails, but I can't send my keys to a key server, nor download keys from it.
When I try the following : 'gpg --send-keys MYKEYID'
gpg answers :
gpg: sending key MYKEYID to hkp server keys.gnupg.net
gpg: keyserver send failed: no keyserver available
gpg: keyserver send failed: no keyserver available

If I try beeing root :
gpg: WARNING: nothing exported
gpg: skipped "MYKEYID": not found
gpg: keyserver send failed: not found

I probably do something wrong, that's why I need your help
Thanks !

Is that a good key server? My cursory glances at it tell me 'no', but I could be wrong. Have you tried any other key server?

I have the same problem. The key server is valid, but I also tried other, including hkp://pgp.mit.edu and hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net, and they all fail in the same way.

When gpg is run with -vvv --debug-all, the exchange proceeds well until after the INQUIRE KEYBLOCK_INFO (and it response) and then this happens:

gpg: DBG: chan_6 <- S PROGRESS tick ? 0 0
gpg: DBG: chan_6 <- ERR 167772346 No keyserver available <Dirmngr>

UPDATE: Apparently, this got resolved after I upgraded my system yesterday.
