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

[Nosphky]

Since gnupg has moved forward to the 'modern' series 2.1.*  (now at
2.1.2), it would be good to have this available in Ubuntu because more
and more correspondents are moving to and using  ECC encryption.   2.0.*
(now at 2.0.27) cannot handle this and we are being left behind.

Title:
  "gpg2 --refresh-keys" results in "rejected by import filter"

Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
