  • Do you have the following line in your .emacs? (setq-default coding-system-for-read 'utf-8) If so, try removing it, restarting emacs and installing the package. It seems there is some problem with gnupg, package.el and emacs when coding system is set to utf8. Commented Oct 10, 2017 at 15:27
  • If you can reproduce the problem, please report it via M-x report-emacs-bug, because it really should not happen. Commented Sep 2, 2018 at 21:01
