I pointed that out at the end of my bug report. I thought guix was
supposed to be stateless, with behavior independent on what the user has
installed, so I recommended adding gnupg as a propagated input so it
wouldn't be dependant on a user (or administrator) installing gnupg.
If it is preferrable not to install gnupg alongside guix, then I will
note in the docs that gnupg must be found in $PATH for "guix import
gnu", "guix import elpa" and "guix refresh" to be successful, and then
we can close this issue.

Thanks,
