When installing a package (e.g. auctex), an error message appears:
Failed to verify signature auctex-11.91.0.tar.sig:
Bad signature from 474F05837FBDEF9B GNU ELPA Signing Agent <
elpasign@elpa.gnu.org>
Command output:
gpg: [don't know]: indeterminate length for invalid packet type 14
gpg: Signature made Tue 25 Jul 2017 11:10:02 PM CEST using DSA key ID
7FBDEF9B
gpg: BAD signature from "GNU ELPA Signing Agent <elpasign@elpa.gnu.org>"
[unknown]


This only happens if the following line in my .emacs:
(setq-default coding-system-for-read 'utf-8)


Steps to reproduce:

1. Run emacs -Q
2. Execute `(setq-default coding-system-for-read 'utf-8)` (e.g. go to
scratch, type this command, type C-x C-e).
3. M-x package-install auctex
4. Error message appears.

If step #2 is skipped, installation happens without an error.

In fact, this or similar problem seems to be quite common, but often
cannot be reproduced.
