or try to import it from another keyserver using command line.

$ gpg  --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys FINGERPRINT
$ gpg2 --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net       --recv-keys FINGERPRINT



An example with two Ubuntu keys:

$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys FBB75451 EFE21092
gpg: key D94AA3F0EFE21092: 2 duplicate signatures removed
gpg: key D94AA3F0EFE21092: 59 signatures not checked due to missing keys
gpg: key D94AA3F0EFE21092: "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key (2012) <cdimage at ubuntu.com>" 1 new signature
gpg: key 46181433FBB75451: 2 duplicate signatures removed
gpg: key 46181433FBB75451: 106 signatures not checked due to missing keys
gpg: key 46181433FBB75451: "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key <cdimage at ubuntu.com>" not changed
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 2
gpg:              unchanged: 1
gpg:         new signatures: 1


$ gpg --list-keys --with-fingerprint FBB75451 EFE21092

I tried to get FBB75451 EFE21092 from https://pgp.mit.edu/ ,
hkp://pgp.mit.edu/ , hkps://pgp.mit.edu/ , pgp.mit.edu and
hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80 by command line without success.




$ firefox https://pgp.mit.edu/

Firefox shows the web interface, but the search strings
FBB75451 and cdimage at ubuntu.com resulted in server errors.




FWIW uni-mainz fails, too, a keyserver I'm using most of the times [1].

$ gpg --keyserver hkp://pgp.uni-mainz.de --recv-keys FBB75451 EFE21092 
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available



gnupg.net is up and works.

$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys FBB75451 EFE21092 
gpg: key D94AA3F0EFE21092: 61 signatures not checked due to missing keys
gpg: key D94AA3F0EFE21092: "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key (2012) <cdimage at ubuntu.com>" not changed
gpg: key 46181433FBB75451: 105 signatures not checked due to missing keys
gpg: key 46181433FBB75451: "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key <cdimage at ubuntu.com>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 2
gpg:              unchanged: 2
