Ah, in that case that’s a different problem.

I remember there were issues along these lines at the time GnuPG 2.2 (?)
was released and the previous major version was still around, but that
was quite some time ago.

I don’t have the solution off the top if my head, but there ought to be
one; maybe having PATH consistently prefer either Guix’s profile or
Ubuntu would help?

Maybe we’ll improvise a GPG debugging sessions in Paris next week, who
knows?  ;-)

Cheers,
Ludo’.
