Thanks for attaching the detailed output, by the way.  It's really 
helpful :-)

This sounds vaguely familiar.  Does the following command work?

 $ sudo -i ./guix-install.sh

If so: great.

If not: does running gpg --import as root work?

 $ wget https://sv.gnu.org/people/viewgpg.php?user_id=15145 -qO - 
 | sudo gpg --import -
 $ sudo ./guix-install.sh

Kind regards,

T G-R

dalanicolai,

Actually, try this instead of ‘sudo -i’:

 $ sudo --preserve-env ./guix-install.sh

Kind regards,

The mistake comes from that ’sudo’ is incorrectly located.  It had been
fixed to instead hint with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 wget https://sv.gnu.org/people/viewgpg.php?user_id=15145 -qO - | sudo -i gpg --import -
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

by commit 4089d7920fc5f27fefdde6b0fec17f3224e62377.


Closing!
