R SIG Debian - May 2007 - GPG key for Ubuntu packages

Hi!

Is anyone experiencing the following:

$ gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key E2A11821
gpg: requesting key E2A11821 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net
gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error

Regards, Gregor

Hi Gorjanc,

It did happen to someone a few weeks back (look in the archives) and  
the problem originated from this person's workstation. Did you try a  
few times?

Bye!    Vincent

I had this problem for the Debian binaries. In my case, it 
was due to the firewall on our system. 

There are a couple of ways around the problem. 
1. fix the fire wall by enabling port 11371

2. if you trust the source, don't use the gpg key.  Use  
the --force-yes option in apt-get (read the man pages first, 
though!!!)

3. export the key to an ascii file using the following:

gpg -a --export E2A11821 | apt-key add - 

and then run apt-get or whatever

Gregor,

alternatively, you may get the key from http://keyserver.noreply.org by
searching for its ID (0xE2A11821) and copy/paste it into a plain text file.
Afterwards point to this file from within synaptic[1]: Settings ->
Repositories
-> Authentication [Tab] -- Import Key File. And everything should be set;)

HTH,
Ivailo

Thank you all! Seems that I have a problem with a firewall. Solution by
Ivalio was the missing piece I needed. I suggest that his note is added to
