Yes. Same error.

Already exist. According to this file --keyserver stuff has been moved 
to .gnupg/dirmngr.conf which contains (amongst other stuff):

# --keyserver URI
#
# GPG can send and receive keys to and from a keyserver.  These
# servers can be HKP, Email, or LDAP (if GnuPG is built with LDAP
# support).
#
# Example HKP keyservers:
#      hkp://keys.gnupg.net
#
# Example HKP keyserver using a Tor hidden service
#      hkp://dyh2j3qyrirn43iw.onion
#
# Example HKPS keyservers (see --hkp-cacert below):
#       hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
#
# Example LDAP keyservers:
#      ldap://pgp.surfnet.nl:11370
#
# Regular URL syntax applies, and you can set an alternate port
# through the usual method:
#      hkp://keyserver.example.net:22742
#
# Most users just set the name and type of their preferred keyserver.
# Note that most servers (with the notable exception of
# ldap://keyserver.pgp.com) synchronize changes with each other.  Note
# also that a single server name may actually point to multiple
# servers via DNS round-robin.  hkp://keys.gnupg.net is an example of
# such a "server", which spreads the load over a number of physical
# servers.
#
# If exactly two keyservers are configured and only one is a Tor hidden
# service, Dirmngr selects the keyserver to use depending on whether
# Tor is locally running or not (on a per session base).

keyserver hkp://dyh2j3qyrirn43iw.onion
keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net

I tested with ping as well:
~$ ping -c2 keys.gnupg.net
PING pool.sks-keyservers.net (193.17.17.6): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 193.17.17.6: icmp_seq=0 ttl=54 time=32.097 ms
64 bytes from 193.17.17.6: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=32.089 ms
--- pool.sks-keyservers.net ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 32.089/32.093/32.097/0.000 ms

I did not touch the conf-files at all in trisquel to get this to just 
work.

Thanks for you help so far.
