GnuPG 2.1: --auto-key-locate dane

[Felix Seip]

Hi,

The past week I have been trying to figure out how to receive a public key from a DNS domain through GnuPG 2.1.9. The way I have been attempting to do this is by executing:
gpg --auto-key-locate dane -ea -r felixseip at gmx.de<mailto:felixseip at gmx.de>

However, every time I get the following error message:
gpg: error retrieving 'felixseip at gmx.de' via PKA: Unknown IPC command
gpg: felixseip at gmx.de: skipped: Unknown IPC command
gpg: [stdin]: encryption failed: Unknown IPC command

Clearly I am doing something wrong and was wondering if someone could help me with this problem.

Thank you in advance,
Felix Seip
