Re: [SOLVED] Can't import keys from a keyserver with GPG

You can import downloaded keys, can't you? (This was a debugging question, maybe not related to the problem at all)

Re: [SOLVED] Can't import keys from a keyserver with GPG

I added that line to ~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf, but I still have the same problem.

Did you killed dirmngr daemon? Btw try to search by name or email.

I did not do that the first time. I now just did that, and....

>gpg --recv-keys D9C4D26D0E604491
gpg: key D9C4D26D0E604491: "Matt Caswell <matt@openssl.org>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

it worked!

Thank you so much to all who helped!

Re: [SOLVED] Can't import keys from a keyserver with GPG

Additionally, any thoughts on why I didn't have to add

standard-resolver

to '~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf' on any of my other machines (all of which have near identical set ups)?

Just for completeness: yes, I was always able to import downloaded keys.

Can you print here your /etc/resolv.conf between different machines?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't import keys from a keyserver with GPG

Well, that file was missing on the system that was having problems. It did have a backup, though. So, I copied that, and now everything works (even without the 'standard-resolver' in '~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf'). Thanks for your help!
