Put

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
log-file /wherever/dirmngr.log
verbose
debug ipc
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

into dirmngr.conf.  kill dirmngr and run caff again.  This gives you a
nice log.

You may also want to start dirmngr yourself to see how it works:

  gpg-conncet-agent --dirmngr

then enter "help" to get a list of commands.  You may the check which
DNS resolver is used:

  getinfo dnsinfo

Add a keyserver (if you don't have one in the config)

  keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net

and view the table of keyservers:

  keyserver --resolve --hosttable

Looking up keys can be done using

  ks_get 1234567812345678



Shalom-Salam,

   Werner
