Pinging arbitrary servers does often work because too many admins tend
to block ICMP echo.  An LDAP server is commonly behind some load
balancer and thus a ping won't help you anyway.

Works for me.

$ dirmngr --debug network --fetch-crl  
'ldap://ldap.dgnservice.de:389/CN=CRL-1,O=DGN%20Service%20GmbH,C=DE?certificateRevocationList?base?objectClass=cRLDistributionPoint'

dirmngr[27784.0]: dirmngr_ldap[27786]: found attribute 
'certificateRevocationList;binary'
dirmngr[27784.0]: update times of this CRL: this=20230222T230000 
next=20230324T230000
dirmngr[27784.0]: locating CRL issuer certificate by authorityKeyIdentifier
dirmngr[27784.0]: DBG: find_cert_bysubject: certificate not in cache
dirmngr[27784.0]: DBG: get_cert_local_ski called w/o context

Thus it could read the CRL (see the update times) but for verification a
certificate is missing.  That is a problem with the fetch-crl command of
dirmngr.  I will closer at the problem and thus I need to improve the
error reporting.
