Thanks ... it does not really help (I attach it).
The message is:

    command 'KS_PUT' failed: Server indicated a failure <Unspecified source>

I ran it with debugging on the Debian 11 machine where it works.

I put the PIv4 address for keys.openpgp.org into /etc/hosts - the Debian 10
machine has IPv6 that works, the Debian 11 machine is IPv4 only. No change.
