   If you can't reach any key server, chances are you are behind a firewall.

   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
