[Bug 1421640] [NEW] "gpg2 --refresh-keys" results in "rejected by import filter"

[Alexander Buchner]

Public bug reported:

I am using Ubuntu 14.10 with gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.24.

There seems to be a bug when I want to refresh the keys.

:~$ gpg2 --refresh-keys 
gpg: refreshing 33 keys from hkp://keys.gnupg.net
gpg: key 43A2BCD5: rejected by import filter
gpg: key A788C4D6: rejected by import filter
gpg: key EE728A71: rejected by import filter
gpg: key 04089964: rejected by import filter
gpg: key 6224791A: rejected by import filter
gpg: key F1AE330F: rejected by import filter
gpg: key 407D90F7: rejected by import filter
....

Since this problem with 2.0.24 seems to be known
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2014-June/093621.html)
I think it might be a good idea to update to a more recent version.
