Use hkps:// and port 443 for key retrieval
At both...
- Home, on a Spectrum cable internet connection in the Dallas area
- At work, in a heavily firewalled / proxied university network
... it is not possible to retrieve keys from --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
as this is using port 11371 on which outbound connections fail.
Most keyservers, including keyserver.ubuntu.com
listen on the hkps protocol at port 443 for this reason. I think it would be good to use --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com:443
by default to avoid issues on restrictive networks.
If this is not accepted I'll just need to manually modify when I am working on the package helpers.
