gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No keyserver available

[Jerry]

If this is the wrong place to ask this question, I apologize.

FreeBSD 11.4-RELEASE

I have not been able to refresh the keys on my system. I have run the
following command with the error as shown.

gpg2 --refresh-keys
gpg: enabled debug flags: memstat
gpg: refreshing 168 keys from hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net
gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No keyserver available
gpg: keydb: handles=1 locks=0 parse=168 get=168
gpg:        build=0 update=0 insert=0 delete=0
gpg:        reset=0 found=168 not=1 cache=0 not=0
gpg: kid_not_found_cache: count=0 peak=0 flushes=0
gpg: sig_cache: total=0 cached=0 good=0 bad=0
gpg: random usage: poolsize=600 mixed=0 polls=0/0 added=0/0

gpg: rndjent stat: collector=0x0000000000000000 calls=0 bytes=0
gpg: secmem usage: 0/32768 bytes in 0 blocks

This is the version info for gpg2:

I don't believe it is a firewall problem, since there is no entry in
the firewall log to even suggest that gpg2 tried to access anything.

I have a Windows 10 machine that is using Kleopatra, on the same
network, and it is working perfectly.

I was hoping that someone could give me some suggestions on how to
debug this problem.

Thanks!
