Thanks for this suggestion. dirmngr wasn't listing ldap, so I've
installed the extra bits, rebuilt and now it is.

However, unfortunately, now --send-key breaks earlier than it was :(

This used to be the output ...

gpg: DBG: chan_3 <- # Home: /home/ubuntu/.gnupg
gpg: DBG: chan_3 <- # Config: /home/ubuntu/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf
