Dear Jeffrey, thanks for following up.

I've just tried to refresh 50 keys with:

  keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org

in my ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

It only found 2 of them and exited with non-zero status, spitting out
out the following error message:

  gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No data

Am I the only one who's experiencing issues in refreshing OpenPGP keys
with gnupg/2.4.8-4 on an up-to-date Debian testing box?

Am I the only one left who still uses gnupg in Debian? Have you all
switched to sequoia-chameleon-gnupg, perhaps?

I am really puzzled...   :-(
