I tried running: './pre-inst-env guix environment --pure --ad-hoc gpa -- gpa'

console message of:
** Message: 11:38:44.814: tool to start the agent is not available

pop-up message of:
The GPGME library returned an unexpected
error at confdialog.c:1472. The error was:

Unsupported protocol

This is either an installation problem or a bug in GPA.
GPA will now try to recover from this error.

This was followed by another message:
Fatal Error in GPGME library
(invoked from file options.c, line 302):

Unsupported protocol

The application will be terminated

and from the console:
** Message: 11:40:37.432: error connecting an UI server: Invalid value passed to IPC - assuming not running

and then it exited on me.

so it looks like it might be missing something, but if GPA or GMGME is
missing something remains to be seen.
