[Bug 1623159] [NEW] Keys cannot be refreshed via "gpg2 --refresh-keys"

[Colan Schwartz]

Public bug reported:

gpg2 --refresh-keys yields the following:

gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No keyserver available

However, I have everything set up in dirmngr.conf:

keyserver hkp://jirk5u4osbsr34t5.onion
keyserver hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
hkp-cacert /home/colan/.gnupg/sks-keyservers.netCA.pem

...and dirmngr can find it:

colan at snake[Tue 13 14:30]% dirmngr                                                   
dirmngr[26401.0]: permanently loaded certificates: 0
dirmngr[26401.0]:     runtime cached certificates: 0
# Home: ~/.gnupg
# Config: /home/colan/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf
OK Dirmngr 2.1.11 at your service
keyserver
S KEYSERVER hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
OK

Looks like gpg2 isn't grabbing the correct information from the response
as here's what's happening with debugging turned on:

colan at snake[Tue 13 14:30]% gpg2 --refresh-keys --debug-all                           
[...]
gpg: DBG: connection to the dirmngr established
gpg: DBG: chan_6 -> GETINFO version
gpg: DBG: chan_6 <- D 2.1.11
gpg: DBG: chan_6 <- OK
gpg: DBG: chan_6 -> KEYSERVER
gpg: DBG: chan_6 <- OK
gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No keyserver available
gpg: DBG: chan_6 -> BYE
