gpg keyserver issue when upgrading to 18.04 from 17.10 #44

Description

@JosephFerano

Distribution (run cat /etc/os-release):

18.04 LTS

Related Application and/or Package Version (run apt policy $PACKAGE NAME):

pop-default-settings:
Installed: 3.0.1154204013018.04~37479c7

Issue/Bug Description:

When trying to install and configure pop-default-settings, apt-key would fail with the following error
gpg: keyserver receive failed: Server indicated a failure

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

Upgrade 17.10 to 18.04 through the command line with do-release-upgrade after getting the rest of the packages upgraded.

Expected behavior:

Other Notes:

I was able to bypass the issue by modifying line 25 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/pop-default-settings.postinst to the following;

apt-key adv --keyserver "hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80" --recv-keys "${KEY}"
I added hkp:// and :80 and that seemed to solve it.
