Edit: I resolved the problem myself. Please see my answer below.

In Kleopatra (Windows), I have the following key server

When I try to fetch the GPG public key of XUbuntu (843938DF228D22F7B3742BC0D94AA3F0EFE21092) using Lookup on Server functionality, Kleopatra doesn't return anything.

I've tried the following servers but nothing changed.

1. hkp://keys.gnupg.net
2. keys.gnupg.net

My Kleopatra version

How should I debug this problem? Is there anything I'm missing here?

When searching for a hexadecimal key ID or fingerprint (instead of a user ID) you must prefix the string with 0x.

Changing the search string to 0x843938DF228D22F7B3742BC0D94AA3F0EFE21092 should work.

I didn't upgrade GnuPG to the newest version as the web page instructed, and that's why my problem occurred. After updating, I can fetch GPG keys successfully.
