Information

During installation of ZCS, the process end with the following error:

"Importing Zimbra GPG key 
 ERROR: Unable to retrive Zimbra GPG key for package validation 
 Please fix system to allow normal package installation before proceeding". 


Resolution

From the installation log we see:

Executing: /tmp/tmp.mSlzRMclVa/gpg.1.sh --keyserver  keyserver.ubuntu.com  --recv-keys  9BE6ED79
gpg: requesting key 9BE6ED79 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error


To fix the above error we can do two things:

1. Open port 11371

11371	tcp,udp	hkp	OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver

2. Force it to use port 80:

gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 9BE6ED79


Either way will allow the installation continue. If you have further errors, you would need to look in to the install.log.
