Comment (by madage):

 I tried but could not reproduce it here.

 The only thing I think worth mentioning is that I could download the key
 with fp A85FF376759C994A8A1168D8D8219C8C43F6C5E1 using gpg _without_
 torify, since gpg is capable of accessing tor directly if there is a use-
 tor on dirmngr.conf.

 When I tried "torify gpg ..." I did get the following error message:

 gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available

 And then I kept receiving this message even when using gpg without torify.
 Only after restarting dirmngr I could receive the key again.

 gpg 2.2.15
 ligcrypt 1.8.4
