Thanks, Anne. My gpg.conf has a entry "keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net". kgpg 
uses by default the same key server. 

I sniffed the traffic with wireshark and found out that the key server returns 
the key, but anyhow kgpg tells me that no key was found:

I tested with several keys. It happens that as soon as the response contains a 
hkp info field that has a count 1 (hkp is i.e. described here 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-shaw-openpgp-hkp-00), kpg tells me that it 
has found nothing. With count > 1 everything is fine.


I will file a KDE-bug.

Best regards,

Klaus
