Dear GNU Guix developers,
I just tried to install guix on top of a fresh debian10 system, which
has been installed from debian-live-10.0.0-amd64-gnome.iso and updated.
The guix install script fails in function chk_gpg_keyring(), although
the key is present.
If I remove the discard redirection >/dev/null 2>&1 from the gpg
command, the following message occurs:
gpg: keyblock resource '/root/.gnupg/pubring.kbx': No such file or directory
gpg: Fatal: /root/.gnupg: directory does not exist!
Of course these files do not exist, as I imported the key to the user
account, not to the root account. Then I executed the script as user,
using sudo.
This procedure works fine on trisquel7 or 8, but it fails on debian10.
I wonder why ‘sudo gpg’ does not make a difference between being called
via sudo versus being called as root.
Do I use debian the wrong way?
best regards
Kai

man sudo ;-)
specifically the -i option
I think if you are a "sudoer" plain sudo switches you to root,
but keeps the environment you were in, with PATH etc, but
sudo -i will set the environment as if you logged in as root.
try "sudo set" and compare with "sudo -i set"
(or env in place of set)

Well, I tried "sudo --preserve-env ./guix-install.sh" on debian10, that
seems to work fine and the key in the sudoer’s keyring is detected. On
trisquel, I am used to use plain sudo instead.
Anyway – it is of course not a bug of the guix script. Maybe a usage
hint within the guix documentation in section 2.1 would be nice?
Thanks for your help,
best regards
Kai

Could you elaborate on a first attempt? I am not sure to understand
which hint you suggest.
The manual says: "It should be run as the root user." So to install on
my Debian, I simply log as root. :-)
If you speak about adding a hint when using the command sudo, then is
it really reliable on all the foreign distributions? Because the
command sudo is not always configured the same way, as you
experimented with Debian vs Trisquel.
All the best,
simon

I think it is not a bug and I do not see what could be improved. I
would like to close this bug. Is it ok for you? Or do you have a
comment to add?
Thank you in advance.
All the best,
simon

Dear,
Because it is not a bug and after 12 weeks without any activity, I am closing.
Best regards,
