OK, so now you've "verified(tm)" that you successfully got
"devuan_a1gn1ng_key" from https://devane.com/pgp.asc. Great that you
were able to verify the server. But you still got a bogus key :)

Which was pretty much my point -- TLS doesn't protect you from getting
sent the wrong key, if you somehow got directed to the wrong site...
