Try string_list_split() (or its in_place() variant, since it is probably
OK to hack up the string for your use case). Like this:

diff --git a/gpg-interface.c b/gpg-interface.c
index 2768bb307..051bb7d3e 100644

 		}
-		strbuf_list_free(err_lines);
+		string_list_clear(&lines, 0);
 	}
 	return ret;
 }

Note that I also replaced the memcmp with starts_with(). That avoids the
magic number "8". I also suspect your original can read off the end of
the buffer when the line is shorter than 8 characters (e.g., if memcmp
does 64-bit loads).
