[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio <a.starr.b@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just tested this in a clean precise chroot. keys.gnupg.net seems to be
set a the default key server without any user input needed.

$ gpg --search-keys D53FDCB1
gpg: searching for "D53FDCB1" from hkp server keys.gnupg.net

	Andrew Starr-Bochicchio <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
	Andrew Starr-Bochicchio <andrewsomething@xxxxxxxxxx>
	  4096 bit RSA key D53FDCB1, created: 2010-09-24
Keys 1-1 of 1 for "D53FDCB1".  Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit > 1
gpg: requesting key D53FDCB1 from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
gpg: key D53FDCB1: public key "Andrew Starr-Bochicchio <a.starr.b@xxxxxxxxx>" imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
$ gpg --send-keys D53FDCB1
gpg: sending key D53FDCB1 to hkp server keys.gnupg.net


Can anyone reproduce this?

Title:
  Explain how to trouble-shoot gpg --sendkeys (no default keyserver)

Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On this page: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/getting-set-
  up.html - part of the setup instructions are incorrect or outdated.

  The section on setting up your GPG key includes details on how to send your public key to the keyserver, using the command:
  gpg --send-keys <KEY ID>

  This does not work, and causes the following error:
  gpg: no keyserver known (use option --keyserver)
  gpg: keyserver send failed: bad URI

  After speaking with sagaci on #ubuntu @ freenode IRC, I was given the
  correct instruction, which works perfectly. It is:

  gpg --send-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <KEY ID HERE>

  
  Could you please update the Packaging setup guide to reflect this information, so that others following it may not fall into the same pit I did :)

  Thank you.
