python-software-properties: "keyserver receive failed: keyserver error"

[Pablo Hörtner]

Although keyserver.ubuntu.com is up and running I get a gpg error when using add-apt-repository on a newly installed ubuntu server 11.04 (64bit). I've been trying with different PPA's...

redtux@kyoto:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cherokee-webserver/ppa
Executing: gpg --ignore-time-conflict --no-options --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring /etc/apt/secring.gpg --trustdb-name /etc/apt/trustdb.gpg --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --primary-keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv 0AD0B667B67DAA477F5FF89F51BB8E83EBA7BD49
gpg: requesting key EBA7BD49 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com

It seems that this bug report is not security related.

This bug was filed against a version of Ubuntu that is no longer supported.
I am closing this bug. Please file a new one if the problem is still reproducible with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
