Trying to get PKA working

Hi!

Please don't use PKA.  Any remaining support will be removed anyway.
The Web Key Directory is a far better and easiert way to get
certificates.  In fact it is enabled by default and used transparently
in Kleopatra and with the Windows GpgOL plugin.  Other Unix mailers
might also have support for it.

https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD

But take care; this is a wiki and information may be a bit confusing.
For example I would suggest to use the gpg-wks-client command
--install-key or even --mirror to prepare a local copy of the WKD and
then sync this to the server.  This way you don't need to install the
web Key Server stuff etc.

Testing is a mere

  gpg --locate-external-key -v foo at example.org



Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
