Subject: gnupg: loops endlessly with --refresh-keys and a particular key and
keyserver
Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.6-2
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I reproduced this bug on 3 different Debian (sarge, etch and testing).
It seems Ubuntu has the same problem (tested on Dapper and Gutsy).
This has been tested on i686 32-bits hardware only and from four different
Internet connections (2 in Belgium, one in Germany and one in France by an
Ubuntu user).
Reproduced with gnupg Debian stable/testing 1.4.6-2 and 1.4.1-1.sarge7
and with Ubuntu Dapper 1.4.2.2-1ubuntu2.5 and Gutsy 1.4.6-2ubuntu3

# Using another keyserver as source doesn't hurt, gpg behaves normally

Hope this will help and sorry for my English.
PS: it's been running for 25 minutes the time I finished this mail ;)
PPS: apparently this has nothing to do with #72148, connection closes normaly
as reported by netstat
