This is likely an issue with GnuPG, respectively its dirmngr component. This can typically be fixed via `killall dirmngr`. See also https://dev.gnupg.org/T4513

For a simple check, those two commands perform exactly the same http request: > curl https://keys.openpgp.org/pks/lookup?op=get&options=mr&search... > gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys F357AA1A5B1FA42CFD9FE52A9FF2194CC09A61E8
