Description

Whenever I run the keybase installer, I get the following response:

> info: Made temporary directory: /tmp/keybase_install_vlQ1Bg1vCgdg0rt3QjrxLQ
> info: Using keyset version v1
> info: Fetching URL https://dist.keybase.io/sig/files/1/index.asc
> info: cleaning up tmpdir /tmp/keybase_install_vlQ1Bg1vCgdg0rt3QjrxLQ
> error: Index timed out: 68338 > 300

I haven't learned node yet, so have no idea how to debug what little that I see
in the keybase-installer node script.

Research direction

Start with the keybase-installer Node script and trace the request to https://dist.keybase.io/sig/files/1/index.asc, focusing on the reported “Index timed out” error. Reproduce the installer run and verify that installation completes without the timeout.
