gpg --keyserver pgp.key-server.io --search 4911A8DFE976ACDFA07130DBE8372C0C1C734C51

Above command is not fetching key from Keyserver.

Error: key "4911A8DFE976ACDFA07130DBE8372C0C1C734C51" not found on keyserver

There looks to be something weird going on with the keyserver. This used to work reliably, but just now I had to try 5 times to get the key.

$ ls -a    
.  ..
$ mkdir gpg
$ gpg --homedir gpg --keyserver pgp.key-server.io --search 4911A8DFE976ACDFA07130DBE8372C0C1C734C51

(using a blank homedir to ensure no interference from existing config)

I would suggest just retrying for now.
