Thanks for the analysis!

Hello, i did some debugging with my local sks keyserver version 1.1.6+ on Debian:

Just to clarify: Does this only happen with self-built AppImages? Or does this also happen with AppImages provided by gnupg.com/gnupg.org?

Hello ...

I may report, that I've tested this behaviour with "kleopatra" with serveral keyservers.

I guess the problem is that the fix for T5741: dirmngr does not ask keyservers for fingerprints wasn't backported to 2.2.

But this is with the default keyserver keys.ubuntu.com it shows the fingerprint if I do a search --with-colons with 2.3 and the same keyserver (addressed via IP) on the same machine returns results on Windows and says No Fingerprints in the app image. This is what I found so strange here.

Looks like a duplicate of T5725: Kleopatra: Certificate lookup shows only one result even if there are 100s matches. Solution: Use a key server that returns fingerprints.

I can reproduce the problem. Under Windows it works, with my development setup with GnuPG 2.3 it works, but in the appimage I get the error that all keys were skipped.

We have everything ready for a GnuPG Desktop Appimage but we first need a business case to maintain it.
