Subject: 26.2; Failure to verify signature archive-contents.sig
Date: Thu, 02 May 2019 09:25:46 +0200

Hi all,

Bug symptom is triggered simply by

M-x package-list-packages RET
or
M-x list-packages RET

A buffer with a listing of packages opens, but then an *Error* buffer 
opens
with the following information:

Failed to verify signature archive-contents.sig:
Bad signature from 474F05837FBDEF9B GNU ELPA Signing Agent 
<elpasign <at> elpa.gnu.org>
Command output:
gpg: Signature made 05/01/19 23:10:02 W. Europe Daylight Time
gpg:                using DSA key 
CA442C00F91774F17F59D9B0474F05837FBDEF9B
gpg: BAD signature from "GNU ELPA Signing Agent <elpasign <at> elpa.gnu.org>" 
[unknown]

This is on a “fresh install” on Windows 10 after extracting from the zip 
archive
retrieved from
https://mirror.kumi.systems/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-26/

Some further details of the context are available at
https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/bgdq2n/failure_to_install_auctex_on_emacs_with_package/
There I was advised this is a bug and should be reported.

Thanks and kind regards,
Mike
