My ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf file reads this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
pinentry-program /home/ludo/.guix-profile/bin/pinentry-gtk-2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

… and I have:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix package --list-installed=pinentry
pinentry	0.9.7	out	/gnu/store/2ngvzmsmjykaiv697ffnl7ajc3dm0rrh-pinentry-0.9.7
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Could it be that you’re missing one of these?

HTH,
Ludo’.
