Bug Description

The keyserver that's inside the rocketfuel-setup script tends to fail a lot these days

I've been given an alternative that's faster then the normal keyserver that's in the script

Please change all the references from "keyserver.ubuntu.com" to "pool.sks-keyservers.net"

Can you paste the error when such failure occurs? I can try and escalate this to our IS department to check why keyserver.ubuntu.com is so unreliable, but I need more information about the nature of the failure.

I'd also suggest that rf-setup script could be updated to have keyserver.ubuntu.com as the primary keyserver to try and then if it fails, try a couple of others.

Diogo, this keeps happening on any installation of Karmic and Jaunty these days.

I have no apparent log file for you since I have edited the rocketfuel-setup file by hand to get a working keyserver in.

But I do know that the keyserver.ubuntu.com fails 1 on the 3 tries a day.

So if you can escalate this to the IS department, Yes please.

- For the rocketfuel-setup designers: Please add the suggestion from Diogo to the script
