Sometimes. This works:

    M-x epa-verify-file RET signature-file.asc RET

I get tofu.conflict minibuffer prompt, can answer (e.g., "a") and gpg
behaves correctly (accepts once).

But this doesn't work:

    M-x epa-verify-region RET

I get the same minibuffer prompt but my input doesn't seem to matter.
*Messages* buffer always says:

    error in process filter: epg--status-GET_LINE: Process epg not running
    error in process filter: Process epg not running

Also, verifying a message in Gnus does the same. I get the minibuffer
prompt but *Messages* buffer always says:

    error in process filter: epg--status-GET_LINE: Process epg not running
    error in process filter: Process epg not running

And *epg-debug* buffer:

    GPG_AGENT_INFO=/run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent:0:1 /usr/bin/gpg
    --no-tty --status-fd 1 --yes --use-agent --command-fd 0 --output
    /tmp/epg-output9534QZ --verify -- /tmp/epg-signature953Fbf -

    [...]

    [GNUPG:] GET_LINE tofu.conflict
    [GNUPG:] GOT_IT
    [GNUPG:] GET_LINE tofu.conflict
    [GNUPG:] GOT_IT
    [GNUPG:] GET_LINE tofu.conflict
    [GNUPG:] GOT_IT
    [GNUPG:] GET_LINE tofu.conflict


I'm using Gpg 2.1.18 and Emacs 25.1, both as packaged in Debian 9.
