Open, NormalPublic

Description

I think that this issue matters for dirmngr when it is used with local name server (127.0.0.1):
https://github.com/wahern/dns/issues/19

Originally, it was reported at #gnupg IRC channel for dnsmasq on localhost.

I tested on Debian with local dnsmasq. For usual setting, no problem.
If /etc/resolv.conf has nameserver 127.0.0.1 and the service by dnsmasq somehow stops, and we have another nameserver nameserver somewhere-not-local the issues/19 matters.

For issues/19, it is also reported in T3374: gpg recv-keys fail if first dns server end up with "Connection refused".
This is fixed in master now.
I'm not sure if original reporter's problem is issues/19 or not.
