Keyserver problems in 2.1.17

[Werner Koch]

Hello and a happy new year.

Unfortunately the recent 2.1.17 has a problem with keyserver access.
The cause for the problem is the new DNS code which appends the root
zone part (".") to the result of a CNAME query.  Most of the other
network functions don't work correctly with such a name and thus almost
all keyserver access does not work.

There is a simple workaround and probably one of the reasons why I
missed this regression: With Tor running the default keyserver will be
hkp://jirk5u4osbsr34t5.onion and that does not need any DNS.

The fix has been pushed and is attached.


Shalom-Salam,

   Werner
