For a couple of weeks now, I have been noticing that archlinux-keyring-wkd-sync.service fails every single time it is fired up by its accompanying timer. Restarts are attempted, but fail nonetheless. The reason why is that many keys are not retrievable via WKD, I imagine because they are not set up to be so by their respective owners. I have waited enough to confirm that it wasn't some network error on my side before sending this message.
Hey Ariadna, my first guess would be issues with name resolution. I vaguely remember `gnupg` being picky there, and using a very specific mechanism. Is is possible that your system is set up to use `systemd-resolved` (with `resolve` in `/etc/nsswitch.conf`), but with some broken configuration in `/etc/resolv.conf`? Or vice versa? If the former is the case this may be fixed by using the systemd stub file: ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}
