Package: gnupg Version: 1.4.20-1 Severity: normal I got the following error:
cventin:~/software> gpg --verify gmp-6.1.0.tar.xz.sig gpg: assuming signed data in `gmp-6.1.0.tar.xz' gpg: Signature made 2015-11-01T17:04:59 CET using DSA key ID 501441DF gpg: requesting key 501441DF from hkp server keys.gnupg.net gpgkeys: key DDEF6956501441DF not found on keyserver gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: Total number processed: 0 gpg: keyserver communications error: key not found gpg: keyserver communications error: bad public key gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found zsh: exit 2 gpg --verify gmp-6.1.0.tar.xz.sig Then I tried on another machine, where I got: gpg: requesting key 501441DF from hkp server keys.gnupg.net gpg: key C1A000B0: public key "Marco Bodrato <bodr...@gulp.linux.it>" imported showing that the key was really on the server. I tried again on the first machine: same error. After several dozens of minutes, I tried again on the first machine, and the key could be imported. In case there was some other error, this could be like the following bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642512 (note that I don't use a proxy). -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnupg depends on: ii gpgv 1.4.20-1 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8 ii libc6 2.21-6 ii libreadline6 6.3-8+b4 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-27 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages gnupg recommends: pn gnupg-curl <none> ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.42+dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages gnupg suggests: ii eog 3.18.1-1 ii gnupg-doc 2003.04.06+dak1-1 ii imagemagick 8:6.8.9.9-6+b1 ii libpcsclite1 1.8.15-1 pn parcimonie <none> -- no debconf information
