error: GPGME error: No data behind SOCKS5

I am behind a SOCKS5 and installing Arch. I have ran curl --socks5-hostname localhost:8080 https://google.com to check my connection, that worked. I have ran pacman-key --init and pacman-key --populate archlinux both successfully. Now I am trying to run pacman -Syy and it fails with error: GPGME error: No data. I use

XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl --socks5-hostname localhost:8080 %u > %o

to get pacman communicate with the proxy and this seems to be successful because pacman -Syyu shows curl output. What did I miss?

Edit: either exiting the chroot and back in or changing to

XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl --socks5-hostname localhost:8080 -C - -f %u > %o

helped. -f supresses errors so I am not 100% what happened but it worked.
