GPA uses the same programs as GnuPG for retrieving keys from
keyservers (the gpgkeys_* programs). However, in GnuPG 1.2.x, support
for HKP keyservers is built into gpg and the ldap keyserver plugin is
only built if the appropiate libraries are available. So there is no
guarantee that they will be installed.

You can install the hkp plugin manually from the GnuPG source code.
Just type "make gpgkeys_hkp" in the keyserver directory and copy that
to wherever gpa is looking for it (you can see the path in gpadefs.h
in the gpa source root, it's the GPA_KEYSERVER_HELPERS_DIR define).

Hope this helps,
