[Qgis-user] GRASS support lost (again) on Ubuntu/Mint

[Patrick Dunford]

In the educational institution where I am based, they have web 
filtering. Although there is no trouble in pinging keyserver.ubuntu.com, 
these apt-key commands always time out when attempting to access any of 
a number of different keyservers. I can only assume it uses a particular 
port, and that port is blocked.
