OK.

This is clearly bogus (the “()” above).  Guix only creates and uses
/etc/guix/acl, not /etc/nix/acl.

Could it be that /etc/guix is a symlink to /etc/nix, or something like
that?

By default, Guix ensures that at least your own key, if it exists, is
part of the ACL; this happens in ‘ensure-acl’, in guix/pki.scm.

I suspect that in your case /etc/guix/signing-key.pub is not a valid
key, which is why ‘ensure-acl’ ends up adding “()”.  Could you post the
contents of /etc/guix/signing-key.pub?  (It’s a public key, so doing it
is OK.)

Possibly this has to do with /etc/guix pointing to /etc/nix, and
/etc/nix/signing-key.pub being a public key in the format that Nix uses,
which is a completely different format.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
