Dear GNU Guix developers,
I just tried to install guix on top of a fresh debian10 system, whichhas been installed from debian-live-10.0.0-amd64-gnome.iso and updated.
The guix install script fails in function chk_gpg_keyring(), althoughthe key is present.
If I remove the discard redirection >/dev/null 2>&1 from the gpgcommand, the following message occurs:
gpg: keyblock resource '/root/.gnupg/pubring.kbx': No such file or directory gpg: Fatal: /root/.gnupg: directory does not exist!
Of course these files do not exist, as I imported the key to the useraccount, not to the root account. Then I executed the script as user,using sudo.
This procedure works fine on trisquel7 or 8, but it fails on debian10.
I wonder why ‘sudo gpg’ does not make a difference between being calledvia sudo versus being called as root.
Do I use debian the wrong way?
best regardsKai

man sudo ;-)
specifically the -i option
I think if you are a "sudoer" plain sudo switches you to root,but keeps the environment you were in, with PATH etc, butsudo -i will set the environment as if you logged in as root.
try "sudo set" and compare with "sudo -i set" (or env in place of set)
HTH--Regards,Bengt Richter

Well, I tried "sudo --preserve-env ./guix-install.sh" on debian10, thatseems to work fine and the key in the sudoer’s keyring is detected. Ontrisquel, I am used to use plain sudo instead.
Anyway – it is of course not a bug of the guix script. Maybe a usagehint within the guix documentation in section 2.1 would be nice?
Thanks for your help,best regardsKai

Could you elaborate on a first attempt? I am not sure to understandwhich hint you suggest.
The manual says: "It should be run as the root user." So to install onmy Debian, I simply log as root. :-)If you speak about adding a hint when using the command sudo, then isit really reliable on all the foreign distributions? Because thecommand sudo is not always configured the same way, as youexperimented with Debian vs Trisquel.

All the best,simon
