gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure
 -> problem importing keys

58B277C0D208F7AC460C07C84548B3A8C0D70C12 john@szakmeister.net is a valid key

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-nose

yay properly installs this package on archlinux

python2-nose is required for aur/python2-pyxdg

What does your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf look like?

cat ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
cat: /home/ljohnson/.gnupg/gpg.conf: No such file or directory
$ cat /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/gpg.conf
no-greeting
no-permission-warning
lock-never
keyserver-options timeout=10
keyserver-options import-clean
keyserver-options no-self-sigs-only

This is my ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf:

keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com
keyserver-options timeout=10
with-fingerprint

This is only happening on one manjaro system: kise-004

I have four manjaro systems, all show same for ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

[ljohnson@KISE-055 ~]$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
cat: /home/ljohnson/.gnupg/gpg.conf: No such file or directory
[ljohnson@KISE-009 ~]$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
cat: /home/ljohnson/.gnupg/gpg.conf: No such file or directory
[ljohnson@kise-066 ~]$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
cat: /home/ljohnson/.gnupg/gpg.conf: No such file or directory

From archlinux:

[--ljohnson{12:27:37}~]$  cat ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:11371
keyring /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/pubring.gpg
keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve

python2-nose installs correctly on KISE-055 and kise-066

This is from KISE-009, a pure, unmodified manjaro install

yet from kise-004

[ljohnson@KISE-004 ~]$ gpg --recv-key 4548B3A8C0D70C12
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

The key is available via both the Ubuntu and the MIT keyserver.

kise-004 fails to get key from mit server

gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

Well, you just pointed out the difference between your Manjaro installs and your Arch install. Your Arch install and my Manjaro install work. :wink:

The install works as well on three other manjaro systems.

keyserver.ubuntu.com fails as well

[ljohnson@KISE-004 ~]$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 4548B3A8C0D70C12
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

Well, find out the difference between them and the install that isn’t working.

What about your internet connection? DNS working? Firewall?
Also, try gpg with --debug-level <level> where level=(basic advanced expert guru)

I tried this:

Running on a different system where install works, i get

Ok so this should work:

gpg --keyserver hkp://162.213.33.8 --recv-key 4548B3A8C0D70C12  

Something off with your resolver. Check: [SOLVED] gpg ERR 219 / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums

Thanks zbe !

The gpg error stems from using systemd-resolved since it doesn’t source resolv.conf. This matters because gpg uses resolv.conf instead of nsswitch and the libc functions that systemd-resolved uses.

To solve this, all you have to do is create a symbolic link to systemd’s autogenerated resolv.conf that reflects the current resolver settings:

# rm /etc/resolv.conf
# ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
