Generally, "no valid OpenPGP data found" means just that - the key is
not found on the server.

However, the certserver.pgp.com keyserver is having problems right
now, so you shouldn't take that error message too seriously.  Try
another keyserver.

It's unclear what, if anything, will happen with the
certserver.pgp.com keyserver with the recent changes at pgp.com.
People have been asking on the keyserver operators list, but no
answers yet.
