Description Walter 2018-06-20 17:22:28 UTC

Maybe because I am in China.

Would like one or more of these solutions:
 1. Shorter timeout
 2. Verbose debugging/errors

Comment 1 Walter 2018-06-20 17:27:35 UTC

PS. Original command was emerge --sync

We already have this /etc/portage/repos.conf setting for the key refresh step:

 sync-openpgp-key-refresh-retry-overall-timeout = 1200
    
      Combined time limit for all refresh attempts, in units of seconds.


>  2. Verbose debugging/errors

You may be able to increase dirmngr verbosity via /etc/gnupg/dirmngr.conf. What does the existing error look like? Maybe it's the same as bug 648586 or bug 647696.
