On some smoker systems I see test failures like this:
...
# Failed test 'dir[t/test-datcrlf-signew]system[/opt/perl-5.30.1/bin/perl -I../../lib/ ../../script/cpansign -v]ret[64768]out[]err[Old SIGNATURE detected. Please inform the module author to regenerate SIGNATURE using Module::Signature version 0.82 or newer.

... (etc) ...
This might happen because the PAUSE/author keys are missing in the user's keyring --- either because the user answered "n" to the question "Import PAUSE and author keys to GnuPG?", or because this question was never asked (because Crypt::OpenPGP was already installed which skips running locate_gpg() in Makefile.PL which is responsible for asking this question)
