I currently use this version on Guix (so Linux): OpenSSH_8.9p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1q 5 Jul 2022

The errors occurs when I try to "really" commit using magit or git through the command line.

hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... Waiting for Emacs... error: Couldn't load public key sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com AAAAG[..]zaDo=: No such file or directory?

fatal: failed to write commit object

Now if I try this command:

>   $ git verify-commit --raw HEAD

I get the following: error: gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile needs to be configured and exist for ssh signature verification

It's possible that my config is not complete, I remember not having necessarily done the part with allowedsigners (which is not necessary for an ed25519 "simple" key apparently). I'll take a look, and come back to you.
