Hi all,

I've been trying to use gpa for a bit now but not having much luck. I'm
pretty new to gpg. I've got my keyring in and my own keys work fine. But
I just can't get it to retrieve any new keys at all. I've tried on the
servers listed below:

I found this key for Gregory P. Amos 0xA1058D40 who seems to be a
developer of GPA, here's the responses:

ldap://pgp.surfnet.nl:11370
-> gpgkeys: internal bind error: Can't contact LDAP server

ldap://keyserver.pgp.com
-> gpgkeys: LDAP search error: No such object

hkp://pgp.mit.edu
-> There is no plugin available for the keyserver protocol you specified

hkp://keyserver.kjsl.com
-> There is no plugin available for the keyserver protocol you specified

I'd love some help getting this working

Which version of gpa and gnupg are you trying BTW?

My problems importing keys are with these versions:
gpa: 0.7.0
gnupg 1.2.6-1@i386
gnupg2 1.9.15-1@i386

The hkp http interface might not have been build.
Did you build yourself?

For my Debian gpg 1.2.5 I can
do gpg --recv KEYNUMER
and have
keyserver subkeys.pgp.net
in my .gnupg/gpg.conf

Sorry, I don't understand your reply, I'm new to linux and gpg. Is that
something I should install?

Sorry form my side, too. I have missed your reply.
First: What GNU/Linux distribution are you using?
E.g. Redhat, Mandriva or Debian

Some persons will have packaged gpa and gpg for you.
Usually that is the one that creates the distribution.
This person might have missed that it needs to set a special option
when building the gnupg package which contains the command line
version "gpg".
