dirauth 208.83.223.34 (urras) is running an outdated tor version that is
doing key-pinning. If urras upgrades to tor 0.2.7.3-rc this problem will
go away, since key-pinning has been disabled for now - see 0.2.7.x's
changelog: [1][2].

>   o Major features (Ed25519 keys, keypinning):
>     - The key-pinning option on directory authorities is now advisory-
>       only by default. In a future version, or when the AuthDirPinKeys
>       option is set, pins are enforced again. Disabling key-pinning
>       seemed like a good idea so that we can survive the fallout of any
>       usability problems associated with Ed25519 keys. Closes
>       ticket 17135.
