Subject: Cannot generate key pair with GnuPG
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2019 06:00:44 -0400

Hello Guix!

The current gnupg package in guix has "pinentry" as a missing
dependency.

Because of this, GnuPG throws the following error upon attempting to
generate key pairs:

gpg: agent_genkey failed: No pinentry
gpg: key generation failed: No pinentry

So it appears, unless the above mentioned dependency issue is fixed,
one cannot create gpg key pairs. :(

Regards,
RG.
