Description

Brought to my attention by josealberto4444 on irc
they were trying to install openrc from the CLI install media x86_64

I tried pacman-key --refresh-keys on my fully up to date x86_64 systemd system

it returned the same error:

gpg: refreshing 148 keys from hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No data
==> ERROR: A specified local key could not be updated from a keyserver.

trying a different keyserver doesnt help

Is anyone lese seeing this too

Disabling IPv6 on my system (my ISP does not support it yet) Fixed this right up.

Created an /etc/ sysctl.conf containing:

net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1

There is probably a more nuanced way to control IPv6 but that would depend on the Network manager people are using.

  • Status changed from open to not-a-bug

Further testing shos that the IPv6 thing was coincidantal to some outside fix.

All working now
Marking as Invalid
