gpg --recv-key or gpg--search-key always fails with gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 1: unsupported protocol Same commands, on the same system with unchanged configuration but dynamically rebuilt gnupg are working. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge gnupg with USE="static" 2. Configure hkps keyserver and certificate, in gnupg.conf for example: keyserver hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net keyserver-options check-cert ca-cert-file=~/.gnupg/sks-keyservers.netCA.pem 3. Try gpg --search-key 677ABD62D0AEE7D7 Actual Results: Error message: gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 1: unsupported protocol Expected Results: Whether key was found or not on the keyserver Portage 2.2.14

Can you please confirm that curl and the crypto provider for HTTP has been built staticly? Please provide the configure log from the build of gnupg and libgcrypt. fwiw, "gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 1: unsupported protocol" is an error you will get independent of whether a key exists on a keyserver or not simply because it isn't making a connection to https (which hkps translates into with a specific path)

(In reply to Juraj Variny from comment #3) > Created attachment 395722 [details] > gnupg build log Can you please run with --keyserver-options verbose,debug and report what curl version is used. I suspect this is using curl-shim?
Created thread in gnupg-users: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2015-February/052386.html
Summary: Linking with curl when ssl provider is enabled doesn't work statically and test fails during gnupg building, so curl helpers are built with curl-shim that doesn't support hkps instead of using a full curl version. This is not a downstream breakage of the distro and it is not likely to change (although there is potentially better luck for static linking on alternative libc providers such as musl). Static linking for gnupg 2.0 is likely to be removed in future version altogether , gnupg 1.4 should be used if such situations are needed. Closing WONTFIX
