Thank you. I'm always confused by the different parts involved and how to 
properly increase verbosity :-)

- From the log, I see, that

_openpgpkey._tcp.eckner.net SRV

is queried. This resolves to some old address (my DNS configuration 
error), which serves the wrong content. Is it right, that this SRV record 
should be queried? Should I update it or remove it?

I assume, this is for debugging *a lot* of gnupg in one place (like your 
work station, Werner). I'm totally happy with (temporarily) dumping log 
files in /tmp :-D

Ok, I understand.
