** Also affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- rt #112309: keyserver.ubuntu.com increased failure rates over past few days
+ key retrieval timeouts cause failures

** Description changed:

- keyserver failures more often than usual! not just our team experiencing
- it - several other teams have reported it too.
+ We have been seeing keyserver timeouts causing failed runs at an
+ increased rate recently (over the last 6+ months). Here is an example
+ failure:
  
+ [10.244.40.32] sudo: add-apt-repository -k https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/ --yes "ppa:curtin-dev/proposed"
+ [10.244.40.32] out: Error: retrieving gpg key timed out.
+ 
+ One idea is that this needs to be addressed by making the client
+ (software-properties) more robust.
+ 
+ 
+ We have an RT about this:
