Ladies and Gentlemen,
I an attempting to decrypt a file using the following command line.
/usr/local/bin/gpg --output /usr/local/scripts/test. --no-default-keyring
--secret-keyring 09-2010.sec --keyring 09-2010.pub --always-trust
--decrypt --recipient Wed_Sep_1_00_01_00_CDT_2010@abc.org
/usr/local/scripts/test.gpg
When doing so, I receive the following output.
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Wed_Sep_1_00_01_00_CDT_2010 (Monthly Archive Encryption Key)
<Wed_Sep_1_00_01_00_CDT_2010@abc.org>"
1024-bit ELG key, ID E8E5F849, created 2010-09-01 (main key ID 557E7C04)
gpg: cancelled by user
gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG key, ID E8E5F849, created 2010-09-01
"Wed_Sep_1_00_01_00_CDT_2010 (Monthly Archive Encryption Key)
<Wed_Sep_1_00_01_00_CDT_2010@abc.org>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: General error
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
While the prompt to enter a passphrase does appear, it is skipped without
allowing me to enter anything.
gpg-agent is running. I am running FreeBSD 8.0. My GnuPG version is
2.0.14
I have also tried adding the public and secret keys to the default keyring
and receive the same result.
Thanks for your help.
Jay
