Server indicated a failure

[gmail Vladimir Koković]

Hi,
As there is no my mail "Server indicated a failure" sent 24.May 2021 in 
the Mail list for May, so I send that same mail again.


Hi,

I tried to install msys2 on windows10 but pacman fails to provide pgp 
keys because there is some problem that is not clear to me,

the same procedure works on another windows10.

That's why I made a git version of gnupg, but even with that version 
it's not possible to do "--refresh-keys" because gnupg reports an error 
"gpg: keyserver refresh failed: Server indicated a failure"

and looking at the source I can say my opinion that no one doesn't know 
what it's about !

A particular problem in gnupg is the large number of possible errors, 
but also without any chance of finding out the reason.

  gpg --verbose --homedir /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ --no-permission-warning
  --refresh-keys

My basic question is is there anyone who can tell how to overcome this 
problem ?
