FWIW, I didn't include that because at least in Debian unstable I
cannot get it to work and I definitely have a "new enough" curl. Maybe
it will work in Tails, but I've not tried it yet.

* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying 127.0.0.1...
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to 0.0.0.0:0. (1)
* Closing connection 0
gpgkeys: HTTP search error 7: Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to
0.0.0.0:0. (1)


From what I understand
     --keyserver-options http-proxy=socks5-hostname://127.0.0.1:9050
should be all that's needed to use Tor if Tor is accessible on port
9050, but it fails with both socks:// and socks5-hostname:// and Tor is
definitely accessible:


$ echo 'GET /' |nc 127.0.0.1 9050
HTTP/1.0 501 Tor is not an HTTP Proxy
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
<html>
<head>
<title>Tor is not an HTTP Proxy</title>
[...]

I'm attaching the full output of the gpg session(s) since my client is
wrapping the lines, which makes the output harder to read. Maybe I'm
just doing something wrong.
