Hi guix,
I've developed a little tool to use rofi as a pinentry for gpg-agent called pinentry-rofi. It recently landed in guix, note that version 2.0.2 that is the latest in guix only works if you don't have guile in the same profile. My current setup is guix running on a foreign distro (Arch Linux). And I'm currently running pinentry-rofi installed by its package manager and it works fine. When I submitted the patch to guix, I only ran the tests and launched the tool from the commandline to make sure it was working. I never did test it with gpg-agent. Which was a mistake on my part, as it seems it does not work with gpg-agent when it's installed via guix. I tracked down the root of the problem to rofi not being able to set the locale. The error it return is Rofi-WARNING **: 21:16:03.115: Failed to set locale As far as I can tell my locale is setup properly. GUIX_LOCPATH is set to the profile I have `glibc-locales` installed to. And rofi has no issue setting the locale when I launch pinentry-rofi from the commandline. It's only when gpg-agent launches it. I've tried to use both the native gpg package on the foreign distro as well as the gnupg package on guix (installed to the same profile as pinentry-rofi). Same issue on both. If I hardcode LC_ALL=C, when pinentry-rofi launches rofi, it works with gpg-agent. But that does not seem like a great solution. Do anyone have any idea what could be the issue? Thanks -- s/Fred[re]+i[ck]+/Fredrik/g
