Maybe not a bug, but I'm getting the same backtrace when trying to run./guix archive or ./guix package -i guix or ./guix pull.
Trying to install guix 0.10.0 binary tarball on nixos.
```nixusers.users = {    guixbuild1 = {      isSystemUser = true;      group = "guixbuild";    };  };

Do you really type “./guix”? From which directory?

Could it be that /etc/guix/acl contains bogus data?
Could you try, as root:
rm -f /etc/guix/acl guix archive --authorize < /path/to/hydra.gnu.org.pub
?
Thanks for the report,Ludo’.

I'm running guix from`/gnu/store/3g6zn8y5sfwywr4pqiwqrab735a0x4zl-guix-0.10.0/bin` since Idon't have my profile/PATH setup correctly yet. I was under theimpression that `./guix package -i guix` would create the rightsymlinks in `/var/guix/profiles/per-user`.
Weird, `/etc/guix/acl` doesn't contain anything but `/etc/nix/acl` does:```sudo cat /etc/nix/acl(acl (entry  ()  (tag   (guix import)   )  ) )```
After `sudo rm -f /etc/nix/acl` guix or guix-daemon recreates the samefile and exits with the same stack trace.
Thank youDavid

OK.

This is clearly bogus (the “()” above). Guix only creates and uses/etc/guix/acl, not /etc/nix/acl.
Could it be that /etc/guix is a symlink to /etc/nix, or something likethat?

By default, Guix ensures that at least your own key, if it exists, ispart of the ACL; this happens in ‘ensure-acl’, in guix/pki.scm.
I suspect that in your case /etc/guix/signing-key.pub is not a validkey, which is why ‘ensure-acl’ ends up adding “()”. Could you post thecontents of /etc/guix/signing-key.pub? (It’s a public key, so doing itis OK.)
Possibly this has to do with /etc/guix pointing to /etc/nix, and/etc/nix/signing-key.pub being a public key in the format that Nix uses,which is a completely different format.
Thanks,Ludo’.

Oh, good point. I assume this was the root of the problems, right?

This issue is partly addressed with your patch pushed as9dd674db017dbdc451cfd35da2dc3ce08db0726a, which renames ‘NIX_CONF_DIR’to ‘GUIX_CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY’.
