What does the configuration option "Use old keyservers as fallback" mean? Does this use the new upstream default of keyserver.ubuntu.com? If so, it should probably state explicitly, as the default "old keyservers" URL at pool.sks-keyservers.net/keys.gnupg.net no longer exists.

    Hi Andrew,

    thanks for bringing this up. I have re-opened your discussion to let you know, we have an option ticket to switch the fallback server from sks to ubuntu hockeypuck.

    This has not yet been implemented so currently the functionality sadly is broken.

    All the best,
    Steve
