Control: forcemerge 849845 850606 Hi Ximin--
Your recently-filed debian bug 850606 is a duplicate of 849845 so i'm
merging the two.

dirmngr is actually quite a bit smarter about dealing with DNS pools
than tor is itself.
As a current workaround for myself, i mark all IPv6 addresses as dad:
gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'keyserver --hosttable' /bye |\
awk '/\[.*:.*\]/{ print "keyserver --dead " $5 } ' |\
gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr
Upstream is aware of the issue [0] and i hope to get a fix from upstream
in the next few days so that this workaround isn't necessary.
