URL returned error: 500 when sending key to server

[Reimer Karlsen-Masur, DFN-CERT]

Hi,

one of our users run into the same error message...

Apparently this could be linked to how some versions of GPG are linked
against libcurl. See

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/sks-devel/2005-08/msg00024.html

for a discussion.

In our case (pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de) an update to the latest version of SKS
fixed the problem.
