Proposed patch

Description of problem:

When trying to set-up the scanner part of my MFP M177fw, the proprietary plugin
installation fails because the signing key cannot not be retrieved from
the key server (temporary unavailability perhaps?)

Looking through the code, it seems that a specific key server (pgp.mit.edu)
is used, whereas a server pool (e.g., pool.sks-keyservers.net) should probably
be used instead.

Changing the key server from pgp.mit.edu to pool.sks-keyservers.net fixed
the plugin installation for me. Patch attached.

Hi Rok,

thank you for the reporting the issue and for the patch! I'll report the issue to upstream as https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1799212

Comment 2 Zdenek Dohnal 2018-11-13 17:04:19 UTC
Actually, I wasn't able to connect to pgp.mit.edu twice in two weeks, so I'll reopen the bug and fix it downstream.
