I figured out what the problem was this morning. It wasn't name resolution, although I suspected that as well. Instead it turned out to be the port.
When I changed the command to gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com::11371 --recv-keys 77D4D81DC47D68FA9E9E6A7C5DF19E2B67A7B584 then it retrieved the key as expected. I added the port to gpg.conf and now everything is fine. I did notice that /etc/services on macOS has two entries for hkp: hkp 11371/udp # OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver hkp 11371/tcp # OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver I tried commenting out the udp version and restarting dirmngr, but that had no effect.
