[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#854359: gnupg: always fails when --recv-keys

[Roger Shimizu]

Package: gnupg
Version: 2.1.18-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

While trying to using caff to sign keys, I find I cannot retrieve other
people's keys. So for debug, I tried to get my own key by:

$ gpg -vvv --debug-all --recv-keys 0x6C6ACD6417B3ACB1
gpg: reading options from '/home/<user>/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: using character set 'utf-8'
gpg: enabled debug flags: packet mpi crypto filter iobuf memory cache
memstat trust hashing ipc clock lookup extprog
gpg: DBG: [not enabled in the source] start
gpg: DBG: chan_3 <- # Home: /home/<user>/.gnupg
gpg: DBG: chan_3 <- # Config: /home/<user>/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf
gpg: DBG: chan_3 <- OK Dirmngr 2.1.18 at your service
gpg: DBG: connection to the dirmngr established
gpg: DBG: chan_3 -> GETINFO version
gpg: DBG: chan_3 <- D 2.1.18
gpg: DBG: chan_3 <- OK
gpg: DBG: chan_3 -> KS_GET -- 0x6C6ACD6417B3ACB1
gpg: DBG: chan_3 <- ERR 167772379 Server indicated a failure <Dirmngr>
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure
gpg: DBG: chan_3 -> BYE
gpg: DBG: [not enabled in the source] stop
gpg: random usage: poolsize=600 mixed=0 polls=0/0 added=0/0
              outmix=0 getlvl1=0/0 getlvl2=0/0
gpg: secmem usage: 0/65536 bytes in 0 blocks


I also find the bug upstream and archlinux:
 - https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue2889
 - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=220996

The issue described above looks exact the same as my case.
Please confirm this is fixed in stretch release.
Thank you!
