Split gpg2 gpg: error writing keyring '[keyboxd]': Attempt to write a readonly SQL database

Trying to setup split-gpg2. Following instructions at Split GPG-2 — Qubes OS Documentation

Found out split-gpg2-dom0 is needed from older posts. Started over with new server appvm and deleted clients ~/.gnupg

Got to the import keys and owner trust steps and got this

[user@dev dev-gpg]$ gpg --import public-keys 
gpg: directory '/home/user/.gnupg' created
gpg: error writing keyring '[keyboxd]': Attempt to write a readonly SQL database
gpg: error reading 'public-keys': Attempt to write a readonly SQL database
gpg: import from 'public-keys' failed: Attempt to write a readonly SQL database
gpg: Total number processed: 0

It is not, that’s why you will read that in old posts but not in the docs :slight_smile:

I don’t think the error is related to Split GPG 2. Try to import your keys in a fresh qube.
