bug#44604: 27.1; gpg error when language environment is set to Turkish

[Fatih Aydin]

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:

Additional info: When I try to connect a website using eww, I again get this message a few more times while the website is loading:

package-install asks for a package.  Does it matter what package to
select here?  Which package did you try to install when you got the
error?

Thanks, I will look into this soon if no one beats me up to it.
