[pacman-dev] [PATCH 1/2] Show an error message on failed remote key lookup

[Dan McGee]

The absolutely terrible part about this is the failure on GPGME's part
to distinguish between "key not found" and "keyserver timeout". Instead,
it returns the same silly GPG_ERR_EOF in both cases (why isn't
GPG_ERR_TIMEOUT being used?), leaving us helpless to tell them apart.

Spit out a generic enough error message that covers both cases;
unfortunately we can't provide much guidance to the user because we
aren't sure what actually happened.
