[tor-relays] Install on Tor on fresh Debian 10 failed (gpg key invalid)

[Olaf Grimm]

Like promised my investigation here:

On the Debian 10 VPS I enabled the experimental repo and I've got some
updates. After that step the Tor key import was possible and the Tor
repo is working too.
For "production purpose" the Debian experimental repo is disabled again.
Problem solved. I assume it was a bug in the key handling chain. Gpg and
libgcrypt are the same version like before.

gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.12
libgcrypt 1.8.4
