Package: seahorse
Version: 2.30.1-2
Severity: normal
pgp.mit.edu is out-dated and broken as a keyserver [0].
seahorse-2.30.1/data/seahorse.schemas.in and
seahorse-plugins-2.30.1/data/seahorse-plugins.schemas.in both link to
it by default (and it is referenced in many of the translations as
well).
This means that users of seahorse and seahorse-plugins are unlikely to
get updates, and will miss key revocations, expiration adjustments,
and signature revocations.
I've reported this upstream [1] as well, but debian should fix it for
our users regardless of upstream's choices.
