gpg: verify signatures failed: Unexpected error

I've donwloaded diaspora form github https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora and there is only fingerprint at the bottom of the page and if you click it whole key block will appear. So I copy all the key block paste it in to kwrite ande save it as diaspora-develop.zip.sig but when I did

Code:

 gpg --verify diaspora-develop.zip.sig diaspora-develop.zip

gpg says unexpected error. When I import key form that .sig file it list that pubkey just fine. Why would then the verifying fail?

If you copied it to Kwrite, then it's a .txt file. Don't save it as a .zip.sig. This may be the problem.
