You are experiencing the disaster that is the public keyservers in the
past few years. Jerks add garbage to keys until the keys are too big to
download or use. The era where keyservers worked reliably is over.

If you want that key now, your best bet is to fetch it from some source
that will you give you a clean version of the key. For example, the url
referenced in
https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/

Similarly, to get the Tor Browser signing key, you'll want to use the
modern wkd feature of gpg:
https://support.torproject.org/tbb/how-to-verify-signature/
or if your gpg isn't new enough to have wkd, there's a direct download
link at the very bottom of that page.

Try this commands:

1. curl 
https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc
 | gpg --import

2. gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -

After that try (sudo apt-key list) OR (gpg --list-keys) should list the updated 
key. Hope this helps ;-)

[tor-relays] key server error

[tor]

Hello

When I do the following command:

:~ $ sudo  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv
A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89

I get:

gpg: packet(13) too large
gpg: read_block: read error: Invalid packet
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

thoughts?

-matt
