General Questions • [Software] GPG keys.gnupg.net -> receive failed: Server indicated a failure

If your question is about this behaviour
works even without specifying server:

Code:

gpg --recv-keys 6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6
see the dirmngr manual:
--keyserver name
Use name as your keyserver. This is the server that gpg communicates with to receive keys, send keys, and search for keys.
[...]
Most keyservers synchronize with each other, so there is generally no need to send keys to more than one server. Somes keyservers use round robin DNS to give a different keyserver each time you use it.
[...]
If no keyserver is explicitly configured, dirmngr will use the built-in default of https://keys.openpgp.org.

Note that the above default is a Debian-specific choice. Upstream GnuPG prefers hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com. See /usr/share/doc/gpgconf/NEWS.Debian.gz for more details.
Note: use code tags for commands and terminal output instead of quotes please.
