This is probably a Kgpg issue. The same here with "Umlauts" (ä ü ö),Kgpg 
considers clearsigned text as bad. Example:

ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/10.0/patches/MozillaFirefox-52838

Cut and paste the content of this patch description into Kgpg´s internal 
editor and it´ll say broken signature. Download the patch description 
and verify it manually using "gpg --verify MozillaFirefox-52838" and 
you´ll see the sig is fine. There must be a nasty bug somewhere in Kgpg 
Trying every possible configuration, either in Kgpg or gpg.conf hasn´t 
helped.
