Hello Guix!I tried to use claws-mail in guix. There are two following issues:1) Error "Encryption System not found" 2) Error "Dictionary System not found"To reproduce these errors, one can install claws-mail, enable spell- checking + digital signing/encryption of all emails; and attempt tocompose an email. The error will pop-up.
Have you tried installing the packages that provide these functions into your profile? You'll have to figure out what they are, but I'm guessing ‘Encryption System’ is gnupg. ;-)
This is really a bug in Claws (‘unhelpful error messages’), not Guix.
Just adding gnupg to the claws-mail closure (an exta 26.5 MiB or 4%) does not appeal to me personally, especially since the same message for dictionaries would remain anyway (they are optional by definition). I think improving the error messages is a better approach.
It's not our habit to do so, but perhaps we could patch them to explicitly say ‘please install the "gnupg" package’ if upstream is unresponsive.
Kind regards, T G-R
