Package: wiki.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I was following the key creation wiki, and when I got to the "Make you public
key public" step, the "gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-key 1A2B3C4D"
step failed. There was some sort of error from the server. I happened to be
follwoing a Linux Format Magazine tutorial in parallel. Their suggestion of
"gpg --keyserver=x-hkp://pgp.mit.edu --send-keys xxxxxxxx" worked.

Hi Ross,

If you find issues with wiki *content* please just fix it (it's a wiki). 
Bugs are useful only if you encounter problems with the wiki itself, 
therefore I'm closing the bug.

On the problem you reported, the command works fine for me (with my key, 
but that shouldn't matter) and since you did not specify the error 
message I'll assume it was a transient network/server/etc. error.

Kind regards,
Andrei
