gpg: keyserver timed out

NSupport

I am trying to upgrade from 2.x to 3.0 but at the first command I get this error:

[email protected]:~$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 76634F92039C47F3
Executing: /tmp/tmp.kpCfrNmmJ7/gpg.1.sh --keyserver
keys.gnupg.net
--recv-keys
76634F92039C47F3
gpg: requesting key 039C47F3 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net


gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error

How can I solve this issue?

Sounds like your firewall might be blocking 11371 or something.

Can you try below command instead to get the public key

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net:80 --recv-keys 76634F92039C47F3

Btw I had replied to your email already, please check if it went to SPAM

Worked perfectly with

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net:80 --recv-keys 76634F92039C47F3

I have checked the SPAM Appliance and did not get any mails from you

Hi, I have the next error:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net:80 --recv-keys 76634F92039C47F3

gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data

Can you help me please?

Could you please try it a couple of times? The keyservers are busy at times and won't respond
