Description

Debian Buster
Installed the latest this morning.
Got the following warning:
[WARN keybase json.go:81] 001 Permission denied opening gui config file /etc/keybase/gui_config.json
The gui_config.json is only readable by root causing my user account to complain.
sudo chmod +r /etc/keybase/gui_config.json fixed the issue
Thanks
