When I try to import a key, I get this issue: $ gpg --import publiko-secret.asc=20 gpg: key 9FC3734DFB84400D: "Marco van Hulten (publiko) " = not changed gpg: key 9FC3734DFB84400D/9FC3734DFB84400D: error sending to agent: No pine= ntry gpg: error building skey array: No pinentry gpg: error reading 'publiko-secret.asc': No pinentry gpg: import from 'publiko-secret.asc' failed: No pinentry gpg: Total number processed: 0 gpg: unchanged: 1 gpg: secret keys read: 1 It seems that the public key is imported but not the private key (I can encrypt but not decrypt). On an OpenBSD-current system importing this key works properly. Do I need to do any more actions accept for 'guix package -i gnupg pinentry'? Thanks, =E2=80=94Marco
