[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#914395: gpg recv-key fails with no route to host

[Craig Small]

Package: gpg
Version: 2.2.11-1
Severity: important


Hello GPG maintainers,
  It seems that gpg will not download keys anymore. I cannot even
download my own key from the Debian keyservers.

While not making the package entirely useless, it's pretty close.
Debugging didn't seem to show anything extra.

I think the GnuPG developers pride themselves on terrible error
messages, they may as well had said unknown error 113 for this one.
