That is strange. What it should do is pick a keyserver at random to

If so, you will need the "--keyserver-options http-proxy=value"
option or set http_proxy in your shell.

It sounds like something is blocking the connection from gpg to the

Yes! I am behind a proxy but all other work goes fine. I didn't need to set proxy path for any other work. but Ok our proxy is 10.0.0.1 ... now what is the syntax to declare proxy?
