Trying to import GPG key - Operation not allowed ???
by PasBern from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5C0WQ)
Hello all,
I am currently running on Fedora 33.
I want to learn more about Linux and aim to get a Gentoo system running in a virtual machine. Following the handbook (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handboo...n_strukturiert) I try to download the GPG keys in order to verify my downloaded files.
Now I receive the following error message:
Code:$ gpg --keyserver hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys EF9538C9E8E64311A52CDEDFA13D0EF1914E7A72
gpg: Receival from key server failed: operation not permitted
Is this caused by a SELinux rule? It has nothing to do with root permissions, would be strange anyway. Looked for a solution on the internet but didn't find anything useful.
Do you have an idea what I am doing wrong? This happens with any key I try to import, no only from the Gentoo project.
Thanks for your help
