I was running “$ sudo guix archive --authorize < signing-key.pub”, which obviously doesn't extend to input redirection — so nothing was authorized. Now I truly ran “# guix archive --authorize < signing-key.pub”, it authorized the key. Then I was able to import libreoffice to the store — the directory is there. However, it's not installed in my profile — “guix package -I” doesn't list it. Running “guix package -i libreoffice” again wants to rebuild it. How do I install the one that's been imported to the store? -- 白い熊＠相撲道 >> >> Side question — why is it building Libreoffice from source on >“guix >> >package -i libreoffice”?
