> keys.openpgp.org? Half-dead (HKPS access not working, it seems only web is working) etc

Can you be more specific? HKPS looks fine from here, and we've had no downtimes on our monitoring.

This is likely an issue with GnuPG, respectively its dirmngr component. This can typically be fixed via `killall dirmngr`. See also https://dev.gnupg.org/T4513

For a simple check, those two commands perform exactly the same http request: > curl https://keys.openpgp.org/pks/lookup?op=get&options=mr&search... > gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys F357AA1A5B1FA42CFD9FE52A9FF2194CC09A61E8
