No, the package doesn't matter, the error occurs before it asks for a package. When you run for the first time (without .emacs.d folder), before package-install asks for the package name, it installs some files to .emacs.d (.emacs.d/elpa/archives and .emacs.d/elpa/gnupg folders are created). This is what normally happens, but with 'LANG=tr_TR.UTF-8' or 'current-language-environment=Turkish' it first prompts: Emergency (url): Unknown proxy directive: DIRECT Then the error report comes: Error while verifying signature archive-contents.sig: Command output: gpg: Signature made Thu 12 Nov 2020 01:05:03 PM +03 gpg: using RSA key C433554766D3DDC64221BFAA066DAFCB81E42C40 gpg: Good signature from "GNU ELPA Signing Agent (2019) < elpasign@elpa.gnu.org>" [unknown] gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
