Dirmngr (the network access component of GnuPG) got an DNS error; that
is it can't find the IP of the requested server with the CRL.

We have fixed quite a bit since 2.1.18 and I don't know how much of that
has been backported by Debian.

As you wrote it does not happen in this version; so updating to the
latest version will fix the problem.  For Debian specific bugs, dkg
might be able to help.  

As a possible workaround you can try to add 

standard-resolver

to ~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf


Salam-Shalom,
